      Hi kw28, rh05 and lollypop.

      Let’s see of I can remember…

      Physics
      Chemistry
      Biology
      Maths
      Geography
      English Language
      English Literature
      Religious Education
      French (I failed French!)

      I think that’s it!

      I did Standard grades (Scottish equivalent). I did French, History, biology, chemistry. We were allowed to bypass them and just work towards the highers (a level equivalent) if we were doing well enough in certain subjects. I really enjoyed history and part of me wishes I’d kept it on to higher…

      Hi all,

      OK let’s see if I can remember!
      As I’ve said elsewhere, we had a double science GCSE; so we did biology, chemistry and physics but that came out as 2 GCSEs in the end.

      Others:
      Maths, English Language, English literature, a language (German, which I enjoyed actually), a humanity (I took Geography; much preferred it over history), Design Technology (DT, woodwork, whatever you want to call it)…
      I chose to do Latin as well.
      Then we also had a half-GCSE (!) in IT, which to be honest was fairly pointless. Hopefully the course is better now!

      So only 9 1/2, which was less than a lot of other schools did!
