Depending on the schools, students start studying for the GCSE exam in year 9 or year 10. The exams are taken in year 11, at the end of the GCSE course.
The minimum number of subjects you should take is 5 and you can take up to 16 GCSEs, but it will be close to impossible to do well in every subject. On average, people take 9 GCSE subjects.
The number of GCSEs you need varies based on your goals and the requirements of future educational paths. While the minimum is usually 5 subjects, most students take an average of 9. Make sure to consider both mandatory and elective subjects based on your interests and aspirations.
It is important to select a subject that you will enjoy. If you find a subject difficult, then you may not be able to put the effort into getting good grades since it’s easy to get discouraged by some people.
Make sure that if there are subjects that interest you, then take them on as part of your GCSE coursework. You should also try completing some projects which require more time than others in order to gain an understanding of the critical areas covered by each coursework topic or unit. This may help aid understanding at higher levels when studying these topics at A level later on down the line. Hence, it’s worth investing some time into understanding them now!
You need to think about what future goals you want to achieve, and how these can be achieved through your chosen GCSEs. For example, if you’re planning on studying medicine at university, then it makes sense that subjects such as biology and chemistry would help prepare you for this career path. If instead, you’re interested in becoming a teacher or social worker (or even an engineer), then subjects such as history and geography may be more useful for this purpose than maths or science alone could ever be.
With our Oxbridge-educated tutors, students can expect a high level of expertise and tailored support. We carefully match each student with a specific in-person or online GCSE tutor who holds a deep understanding of the exact GCSE curriculum for their exam board. Our in-person and online tutoring services cover a wide range of core and niche subjects, including English, Maths, Science, History, Geography, Mandarin, Classical Greek and more—we’ve got you covered!
