Don't worry too much as you have to study the most important subjects such as English, Maths and Science. There are some other things to think about when you choose your Year 9 options:
- You generally need at least 4 or 5 GCSEs at grade C or above to continue with A levels or level 3 BTEC at the end of Year 11. Choosing subjects in Year 9 that you are good at will help you work towards gaining Cs or above
- If you want to study a subject at A level after Year 11, check if you need to study any particular subjects at GCSE. For example, you need to study GCSE Additional Science as well as GCSE Science if you want to choose any of the Science A levels after Year 11
- If you are interested in an apprenticeship for the future, check if there are any Year 9 options you can choose to help you develop your practical skills. For example, the College of FE Link course
