      I went to school in Scotland, rather than England, so the systems are slightly different. For the GCSE equivalent I studied English, Maths, French, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Geography and Economics.
      The AS-level equivalent I reduced to English, Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Economics, reducing further to General Maths, Pure Maths, Chemisty and Physics for the A-level equivalent.
      Pure maths was a bit of a mistake, I should have taken Applied Maths instead. I don’t have the head for Pure Maths.

      For GCSE I studied Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, French, Spanish, Geography, IT and Photography. In year 9 I also did 1/2 a GCSE in RE, Product Design and a weird GCSE called “preparation for working life” which was a mix of health and safety in work and also writing CVs…I’ve never met anyone else who did that course!
      For A-levels I studied Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Spanish.

      I studied in Scotland so the GCSE equivalent was Standard Grade at the time. I studied:

      English
      Maths
      Chemistry
      Physics
      Art and design
      Modern studies
      Computing Science
      German.

      Then went on to to highers (H) and advanced highers (AH) in:
      English H
      Maths H + AH
      Chemistry H + AH
      Physics H
      Biology H – crashed
      Art and Design H
      Economics H – crashed
