Hi, A-level student here so ofc not an expert.. I would say not too stress over it too much in terms of usefulness in life, just choose whatever you will genuinely enjoy. Try watching some GCSE revision videos on youtube to get an idea of the content of each subject. I chose History, RS, Music, and Art and I'm about to do a psychology degree so you're really not restricted my your GCSE choices, schools make it seem like an enormous deal but you really just need to choose something you'll be satisfied studying for a couple of years. Good Luck! You'll be fine and lmk if you have more questions x :smile:

It really depends on what you enjoy or what you would like to do as a career. However, as previously mentioned, your options don't necessarily dictate what you will do when you're older. I knew someone who did phycology at GCSE but Computer Science (which she never took at GCSE) at A-Level. Good Luck! :smile:
