sociology is an essay subject and you have 4 twelve markers in each paper, which is only 48% of total marks, and there are two papers. the time limits are quite harsh personally, like it's extremely difficult to get everything in that you want to talk about. i think i just scraped my answers in when i had my gcse less than a month ago. also the mark scheme can be a bit confusing. the content is okay though
what year are you in? have you already done your gcses?

I finished my Eng Lang GCSE early so I did my papers last year and got 3 marks from a grade 6 :frown:

. But, I am doing the rest this year, I finished my GCSE Maths (H) and IGCSE Chem recently but, I have IGCSE Physics tomorrow and GCSE Astronomy on the 21st. After those two paper I'm finished and going onto A levels. What GCSEs are you doing/have done?

I've just never really found maths hard to understand or apply, even in problem solving questions at the end of the paper. plus the grade boundaries are usually lower than other stem subjects so in my opinion its extremely easy to get a nine in.

but i actually hate english why is it so much harder even though we literally speak it

I get what you’re saying about the maths and English, in terms of the English, the examiners want to see our ability to analyse texts and images and then expand on those images. And the maths, well, it is a matter of practicing it again and again and again until the topics become second nature.

damn, good luck!! I'm in year 11 right now and I'm nearly at the end - physics paper 2 and geography fieldwork today and further maths on wednesday.
I've done spanish, biology, chemistry, physics, maths, sociology, geography, further maths, english language and english literature, and I want to do biology, chemistry and psychology for A levels. how about you?

I had tol leave school because of mental health reason and due to finance it couldn't do many GCSEs at home, so I did Astronomy, Chemistry, Eng Lang, Mathematics and Physics. But, I have a financial plan that'll allow me to do 4 A levels in Marine Science, Mathematics, Physics and Statistics.

Language comes naturally to some people, I did really well in French before I had to leave. If you learn languages easily then you can learn programming really easily, something that is great for university applications and general life.
