Don’t follow the pack.<br />
It may be very tempting for your<br />
child to choose subjects just because<br />
their friends do. But it’s important<br />
that they really think about what’s<br />
best for them.<br />

Don't panic<br />
Although GCSE exams are important<br />
the subjects that are chosen won’t<br />
set your child’s future in stone, so<br />
don’t panic!<br />
All children will take the compulsory<br />
core subjects of English, maths and<br />
science which are the key subjects<br />
needed for many future options.<br />
5.<br />
List the pros and cons.<br />
Listing out the good and bad aspects<br />
of each subject on a piece of paper<br />
with your child could help you to<br />
decide which subjects to choose and<br />
may help you to agree if there’s any<br />
difference of opinion.<br />

Look at post GCSE options.<br />
Take a look at the entry requirements<br />
of different colleges and sixth forms<br />
to get an idea of the sort of subjects<br />
and grades they are looking for.<br />
