drop french gcse

But I am not planning to take the French GCSE because I don't want to have a grade of 1 on my report card. It could negatively impact my application to sixth form and university. Even if I achieve all 9s in other subjects and a 1 in French, it may create a negative impression.

brudda listen to me,

IF YOU HAVE THE GENERAL ENTRY REQUIREMENTS AND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SUBJECTS U ARE WANTING TO STUDY, COLLEGE DONT GIVE A **** ABOUT YOUR OTHER SUBJECTS.

IN FACT COLLEGE DONT EVEN GIVE A **** ABOUT PERSONAL STATEMENTS OR ANYTHING ELSE BESIDES YOUR GRADES. IF YOU GET THE GRADES, UR IN.

TEACHERS WILL CONVINCE U THAT EVERYTHING COUNTS BUT THEY ARE SIMPLY LYING. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

it wont affect you at all they care about Maths and English onlyyy

Thank you for providing all this information. However, I cannot accept the fact that I received a 1 in my GCSE result. I refuse to pursue a subject for which I was unprepared and would inevitably fail. Failing any of my GCSEs is not an option for me. (Respectfully,) I am here to inquire about the procedure for dropping the French subject, and I would appreciate guidance on that matter rather than opinions on whether I should continue with it. Thank you.

Listen to me right, im just gonna be honest with you and give you no bs

If you were to drop the french gcse what are you really gonna do to fill that gap up?

Listen to me right, you should never give up. At GCSE I was at a 3-2 in combined science and in the end I put in hard work and achieved an 8-7. Dont drop French GCSE. Put the work in and continue with it. They most likely wont let you drop it unless you get your parents involved with it, and even dropping it you will have to start a whole new gcse which you could probably find worse than French.

My advice? Grind, work hard and nail GCSE french.

I agree

But I am currently taking 11 GCSEs this year (excluding French) and completed 2 last year, making it a total of 13 GCSEs. Isn't that sufficient? Do I really need to add a new subject? What's frustrating is that my parents spoke with the head of year, but she simply ignored us and kept insisting, 'You will have to do it, I'm afraid.' Since she's being uncooperative with both me and my parents, I'm considering reaching out directly to the exam board and requesting an exemption. The problem is, I don't know how to go about it, and I'm unsure of the process. BTW thanks for sharing

Brudda, brudda, brudda.

Speaking to the exam board? No offence but are you stupid? The school has submitted you for the GCSE theres not much the exam board can do without the schools approval.

Furthermore, as I said before you havent thought this through at all. What are you going to be doing if you drop that GCSE? I am telling you simply right now, carry on with French GCSE. You just told us that you are going to have done 13 gcses by the end of it? So what is this? You dont want all the rest of ur gcses to be good and then one gcse be ****? You have to accept your grade in French and learn from it. Do you think Michael Jordan or Martin Luther King got to where they were because they gave up?

Dont give up because of 1 grade. If you get 12 9s and 1 grade 1 (if worst comes to worse) do you really think Universities and Colleges are going to be like 'OMG HE DIDNT GET A GOOD GRADE IN FRENCH WE CANT LET HIM IN'. No they will not, so move on with French and deal with it.

Whats going to happen when you get to A-levels and you mess up and A-level and get a U? Are you just going to ask to drop it because you did bad in it? You seriously need to think of the consequences of what you are going to do.

My advice? Just put your head down and revise. Revise hard and change that grade.

(allow me if i sounded too harsh, its what you need to hear right now)

Bro, why do you think it won't make a difference? Let's do the math. My current average is 8.4 with (13 * 9 + 1) / 14. If I slip up and get a lower grade, it's gonna bring my average down, no doubt about it. And even if I ace the rest with 8s, it'll be (9 * 2 + 8 * 11 + 1) / 14 = 7.6, which is definitely lower.And if I drop even lower, like (9 * 2 + 7 * 11 + 1) / 14 = 6.8, that's a big hit to my average. So, there's definitely an impact, no denying that.

I passed my french gcse in year 9 grade 9+ no pressure

Hi I'm Mr Reasonable and I don't believe you my friend are being reasonable.

Yeh congrats ??

Hey, did you end up getting withdrawn or are you continuing with the subject? I was just wondering what process you went through if you withdrew.
