when do/did you all start year 9? i havent started yet - for anyone who did start did you get like a gsce assembly given we start some of the core subjects gsce courses (maths and science for my school i think)
i start tmrw ! i already chose my gcses at the very end of year 8 i have a option to do one exam of any humanities subject and computer science to do in year 10 rather than year 11 , so more time for one subject
i was just going to make the same thread LOL I'm starting year 9 day after tomorrow aaaa we're choosing gcses halfway through year 9 (we're not starting anything yet ) if you haven't got an assembly after a week in y9 (my school will probably do it in y10), then there might be a gcse options pack on the website (my school has one) i wanna share that i made set one maths after being in set 2 last year which I'm honestly really happy about!!

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay in responding to this thread. I completely forgot about it, which was pretty irresponsible of me. Anyway, let's get back on track.
How has your Year 9 been going?
As for me, things are going well so far. I've started my history GCSE and I'll be taking the exam at the end of Year 10, which is kind of crazy to think about.
Well I finished Year 9 in July. The workload compared to GCSE is much less so I guess appreciate it. You may see that the sets are becoming more competitive in Year 9. There's seven sets in my school. Anyway, good luck to the new year and chosing your GCSE subjects. If you're wondering, well I picked Geography, History, Computer Science, Spanish and Triple Science.
Geography has more logical reasoning to it while History focuses more on content rather than logical explanations. When, it comes how easy they are they both similar, but Geography is a bit more boring than History. Spanish is not very hard, but if you don't need to do a language, I just will not do it unless I want Ebacc. Spanish isn't really intense, but focuses more on your vocab and grammar. I think listening is the hardest since I don't get what they say.
okay thank you SO much that's super helpful I think i'll go for history over geography. unfortuneatly we do need to do a language so i think ill do spanish

that’s really great! Id still prefer the geo over history because I really like logical reasoning and geography in general. also, i’m taking computer science, so how’s that course? and how’s y10 in general?
oh no, anythign you want to share/get off your chest? with homework im the smae - i swear its been a huge jump from yr 8 to yr 9.
we go to the same school.. I think it will be the same haha.. but yeah the jump in homework is way higher than I thought it would be! I guess it’s just preparing us for gcse.

seven sets?? we have three maths sets but the bottom 2 are still mixed, I think.
