      At GCSE, I chose to do separate sciences (physics, biology and chemistry rather than the double award), history, drama and textiles, the rest were mandatory (maths, english lit, english language, french, R.E.).

      I studied the three sciences separately too. I also went for Geography, French, English lit, English lang, R.E, Design and Technology. Also Ad Maths (except it wasn’t really a GCSE). I think that was about it. It seems so long ago now.

      Yep – all three separate sciences and, for some bizarre reason, I also had to do the single combined science because it was mandatory under the curriculum at the time (even if you did the three separate ones). If I remember correctly (long time ago!) then apart from that I did maths, English, English literature, French, History and RE.

      I went to school in Finland where the system is quite different. At the GCSE level there was much less choice that here. Everyone had to do maths, history, Finnish, Swedish and all sciences. The only options were languages or some vocational subjects. My options were English, German, computing and home economics.
