In my school it's a BTEC. If it doesn't say BTEC before it, it will probably be GCSE in your school. But if it's BTEC, you will get 2 GCSE's instead of 1.
BTEC Music is all coursework. GCSE Music is coursework and an listening exam. But BTEC you can get like say 4 GCSE grade C's in it but as for GCSE you only get 1.
I'm doing business btec at the moment and I think it is worth doing, you get 2 gcse's in the end so you may as well! -Flonk28
It's up to you. You do get 2 GCSE's if you do BTEC, but from what I've heard, you do less sport time in BTEC and spend more time doing research. That's what happened in my school, I don't know about yours.
btec is a easier way of working then gcse and is more practical work then corsework. IT IS NOT FOR STUPID PEOPLE!
AP Chemistry and BTEC sports science diploma.
Yes
.
Yeh, if you are consistent, fit and have an understanding how the body works then yeah. I done gcse p.e and Btec sport in both i got A's.
As long as you have an equivalent of 5 GCSE's between C-A* this does not matter. It is your A level ( or higher equivalent grades) that matter. This depends on what you want to do, but as long as you have 3 good A levels you are likely to be excepted. However, you do require a good GCSE maths and English grade ( usually a C or B as a minimum.) If you wanted to specialise in something then you often need a B or above in that subject for both GCSE and A level.
Normally you will need dance, drama, and a music some schools ask for art but some do not have it as a requirement so the basic ones that all of the school i have looked at wont is dance btec drama btec/ gsce and music btec hope this helps x
someones doing a BTEC...
Absolutely none. If you want something, go get it. If you preservere you can accomplish anything you want in life. You need no GCSE grades to get in College. Even if you did need GCSE grades to get on a Science course, when you go to opening evening in college speak to head of Science and explain your predicament and the likelyhood is they'll give you a spot anyway. The same thing happened to me for BTEC national diploma. I was kicked from school at 15 for hacking the PC's .........Left with little or no GCSE's I was put on BTEC at 2nd year level even though i didnt have any knowledge of networking. Purely because i explained how things had turnt out for me. Hope this helps.
