what options did you take at school?

[bluesmartiew]

I've recently chosen my options at school, and was wondering what options you took, and did you enjoy them?

[Ashdown]

If you are talking AS and A levels, I chose Goverment & Politics, Music and Business Studies, plus an extra AS in English Language. I enjoyed them all except Business Studies, which should be avoided unless you are able to handle figures.

At GCSE I chose Music, History, Classics and Drama. I have fond memories of all of those, especially Drama. What did you choose?

Good luck with your studies!

For GCSE I chose: :O French, History, Sport & Rec and was FORCED TO TAKE PRODUCT DESIGN!!! What a wasted option.

[bluesmartiew]

I'm on about GCSE. I've chosen drama, art and design and french, but my teachers are on about getting me to do more subjects if possible :S lol. If anyone has taken drama, french or art and design, are they good?

[bluesmartiew]

P.S thanks ashdown for the good luck :D

[*Zeus*]

I took History, Physics, Surveying and Economics at Olevel (GCSE)

It was a spread, nothing similar

[JustSia]

God, people you don't know how lucky you are here. In my old school we had 13 subject all of which were compulsory and all of which had to be tested, even PE.

[spacechimp]

Well, there are of course compulsory subjects. My entire list of (examinable) subjects is: maths (done 2 months into course 8-) :) :) A*), English Literature, English Language, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, French, History, Product Design (grrr), I.T. (GRRRRR) and R.S. (GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!)

[BigMac]

How old am I?

'O'-Level: Compulsory Mathematics, Eng Lang, Eng Lit and RE; Options: Italian, Latin, German, French, History

'A'-Level: French, History, Italian and 'S' Level History

Enjoyed all of them (perhaps not the RE, and the Maths would have been better [and easier] with a better teacher....)

[bluesmartiew]

wow bigmac you took 4 languages? we've only got teh option of french or spanish

[ICEMANSAV]

GCSE : French, Latin and Spanish plus the compulsory ones.

A level : Politics, Business Studies and Psychology, plus French as an AS.

[Bohne]

Well, I went to school in Germany, and took the following options:

At 11 I choose Latin over extra Maths and Physics.
I only started enjoying Latin when I was 18, though.

At 16 I gave up English, Biology, and Chemistry, and picked Maths and German as Main Subjects and History and Arts as third and fourth examination subject.

Also took computing and literature in addition for a year each.

All in all, I think it was a good choice.

[leandrews]

For my A2s, I took French, German, Psychology, and Sociology.

The two languages were really different, so didn't get confusing, and psychology and sociology sometimes shared the same theories.

Now I'm studying German and Linguistics at University, and am currently living in Nordhausen (Germany) as part of my year abroad, scary!

[SarCaustic]

GCSEs
The compulsory ones were:
English lang, Eng lit, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, (<<<all separate full GCSEs) Maths, RE, Citizenship
and I chose to do
ICT, D&T electronics, Spanish, Drama - they were all really good (especially Drama), but I'd avoid electronics unless you really like and have a good teacher.

Currently at AS level I am taking:
Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Spanish, English Language + General Studies (Compulsory)

[CarolG]

For GCSE I had to take English, maths, science and RE.

My chosen subjects were art, drama, Spanish and history - I loved art & drama and did best in those even though the school looked down on me picking 2 'arty' subjects.

A'Levels, English Lit, sociology and history - to be honest I wish that I'd picked art, I really regret not keeping it up.

[bluesmartiew]

im looking forward to the starting art, french and drama now. They all sound really good :)
