Well, it depends on what type of person you are
If you are academic, then, if you get the option, you could go for the Baccalaureate
This means that you can get into Universities and Colleges easier, which means you would have to take a language (french spanish german) and a humanity (history or geography)
but they are also looking for a variety, so something non academic, for example, music or drama
My advice is choose GCSEs that you enjoy, not because your friends are taking them, or because you dont like the teacher, and definitely not because its the easy way out, choose them because you think they will help your future, and because you love them.
Im taking French, and History to get the baccalaureate and im also taking music for singing, as its been my passion for ages and its something that i have always loved to do.
Psycology, Pretty Good thing to take -nods-
if its a good job then you need good GCSEs
10
7-8 is average, some schools will go in for up to 10. Usually kids with insanely high numbers of GCSEs do them out of school, or do them early. In some cases they speak a foreign language at home, so its easy for them. I wouldn't worry too much about the number of GCSEs you take, just make sure that you get good grades. Universities look to make offers based off your A levels anyway. For more information see How many GCSEs link.
Well, A-level is the more advanced, being taken at college or sixth form, afetr your GCSEs. However, your GCSEs are also important, as both employers and universities take your GCSE and A levels into consideration. It is common to take around 10 GCSEs and 3-4 Alevels.
You can go to college and take your GCSE's there.
French students have the equivalent of the GCSEs.
