Keep in mind I'm in y8 right now. So I've been given the choice between Latin and Classics for next year and then I will have to choose my GCSE subjects. I've already done Latin for two years, and haven't really enjoyed it that much, I guess if I decided to motivate myself, I could do good but I don't like it very much. This is why I chose classics for the next year and haven't chosen my GCSEs yet but am now second guessing because Latin is apparently good for other subjects GCSEs like learning science terms, or with English (classics should do the same unless there's anything I haven't considered), or with Spanish (I'm willing to put in a lot of effort into this one), or maths and other logical subjects. I chose classics because it is English based (reading classical texts and then writing essays which I enjoy), but it's only going to be for nine months and isn't a GCSE I can take at my school. This contrasts with my not really liking Latin despite taking it for 2 years. I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to change now, but I think if I really tried they'd let me, there's still a half term left before y9. By the way, my GCSE choices that I already know I'm taking are Spanish as a necessary MFL and Computer Science because it's my favourite subject. So is Latin really that amazing for other GCSEs and will I be disadvantaged against my classmates who are taking Latin or if I study hard, I'll be fine? I'm aiming to go to top universities like Oxford or Cambridge. If anyone has any other advice for me, I'd love to hear it.
