What’s annoying is they make us choose our GCSE options in year eight but how are we meant to know what we want to do 🙄 like I have no idea what I want to do when I’m older so how should I know what GCSE options I should choose 😭
The good thing is that your GCSE choices don’t matter very much, as long as they can get you on the necessary A Level course. Just pick what you are good at and enjoy, it’s as simple as that
@@JayHay-yy3eb well at my school we pick them in year 8 I’m picking mine this year and I’m still in year 8 then we spend years 9,10 and 11 studying them
Geography definately isn't easy now. It has SOOO much content that you need to learn. Not to mention the ridiculous number of case studies - memorising a crap load of random numbers. People think biology has lots of content, but geography tops it BY FAR
@@Hello-ut4fy True, but you can still easily memorise a lot of information without genuinely understanding it, while in other subjects (like physics or maths) that’s simply impossible.
idk what to choose between history or geography ffs :D i heard that geography is easier than history but rn im in yr 8 and i don't like gg as much and i think i'm better in history. the reason y it's hard for me 2 choose is cuz apparently u need to remember so many dates and stuff and theres lots of writing in history. Im not too good at geo so i rly dont know what to pick smh. I CHOOSE MY OPTIONS ON MONDAY NEXT WEEK.
I'd like to say in case you take it because it's easy that Drama is no where near as easy as people think. For me it's harder than English lit and Lang, spanish and all 3 science. I'm doing it twice and it's still extremely difficult. It relys on group work SOOO much. And because alot of people take it because they think it's easy and don't do any work and will bring you group down with them. Making a play sounds easy but is the hardest thing me and most people in the classes I've been in have ever done.
Lol I’m planning on going pretty basic and boring. I’m choosing: geography, German and child development, I’m still unsure of my last choice but I think I’m doing food tech but I’m pretty stressed about it 😂. My main problem with choosing is that I just don’t like any of my subjects 😂 especially IT, drama, art, PE and a lot more 😬
geography has a looooot of case studies and waay too much content to memorize, gcse pe has a lot in the human body theory like anatomy and make sure you've got some interest in the subject as well.
No has explained what I can do for GCSEs tho!!! I wanna take drama,art psychology, history, eng lan, eng lit, German, maths and RE but no ones told me if I can 🧍🏻♀️
@@itsruby8435 I want to but everyone says I shouldn't but I like art. I'm still scared asf if this will be a mistake I'll regret but the career I'm thinking about in the future relates to art

@@lissyxx5925 sorry I didn’t realise it was different but good luck
@@JayHay-yy3eb thank you!!
Any year 9s in 2021, geography is way harder is not easy so much contents to learn.
do you think i could handle both?! relatively speaking, i'm not too smart, but taking both would be an advantage for me
@@jentawton5395 yh go for it if you enjoy it or is good at it I picked geography as a reservation.

Yessss
I think that’s what makes it easier - memorising content doesn’t require as much actual understanding
@@pinemarten6241 no that's not true. If you actually understand something it's more likely to stick in your head.

So is sociology a good gcse to pick?
If you’re interested in it, go for it

I picked 2 of them 🤪

Lol you can only take 4, you have to take maths all 3 sciences , eng lit and lang. Then you can choose 4 eg German geography art and re.
@@cherry78 depends on school, i can only take 3 which is really annoying since i want another
@@blade9194 true but no one can take six 😂
