I'm doing 10. English language, English lit, Maths, Triple Higher Science (Chemistry, Physics and Biology), RE, Spanish, Music and Geography. I dropped Further Maths as it affected my score in Maths because I couldn't deal with the extra content.

I did 9 GCSE's. I think it's better to do less and get good grades in all rather than doing more and not being able to manage your time effectively enough to cover all content and ending up with mediocre grades.

How does your school let you do all of those? We're capped at 11

That's way too much. I would have liked to do 11 rather than my 10 (taking art as the extra) but 13? Wow. Round of applause to you - I can barely manage my 10. What kind of school do you go to? Is it a grammar school?
