"Triple Science"

Just got offered this at my school for GCSE. If I was to do three Science GCSE's, I'd have to do an extra half an hour's lesson each Monday afternoon. It would mean I could get 11 GCSE's, but I hold my reservations.

Anyone else doing three sciences or got any advice?

I might have blown my chance to do triple science though. The teacher (Biolgoy) said to me right in front of the whole class, "Why aren't you doing triple science?", almost angrily, because she thought I was so good at it. I hesistated and with everyone watching just said "Because I don't, Miss." She then called me 'lazy' but I said I'd think about it and by the end of the lesson was asking for a letter.

Yes, honestly just take it. You're lucky to have it offered.

I was forced to do Double Science and I'm left feeling frustrated that I couldn't do triple when I know I should have and would've done well.

No matter what grades you get, putting Science A and B on your CV looks lame.

Cheers lads and lassies. Will let you know how it all goes.

go for it you have nothing to lose

We do 'Physics', 'Chemistry' and 'Bilology'

Unless you drop one in year 11. None of this womanly, triple science

Maybe you should consider retaking yr9 english.

except that triple science is just short for Physics Chemistry and Biology.

I couldn't think of anything else to say at the time really.

If you do triple science, you get different lessons a week for each one?

Or are they just 'science' lessons?

When I was at school, we had Physics, Chemistry and Biology all separate, and got a double award out of it.
