GSCE Drama or Media Studies

want to drop Media Studies for Drama because I've been involved in Musical Theatre my whole life. I didn't choose it last year so I might be behind if I switch. Is GSCE drama worth it? I have no intentions of becoming a professional actor but I'm interested in being more of an amateur actor, possibly do a BTEC. Help!

You don't mention what year you're in, and therefore for how long you've been studying Media Studies.

If you've only been studying it for a couple of weeks, then it's fine to switch to Drama (assuming your school timetable can accommodate this.) If you've been studying it for a year already, then switching to Drama (where you'll be a full year behind) just isn't viable.
