How do you take GCSE if homeschooled?

Should I take french GCSE?

• Hi, so I've been wondering for a while wether I should drop french or just stick with it and do the GCSE. I have a week to decide wether I'm doing it or not and I actually decided on dropping it once and for all but now I'm having second thoughts... What's the use of the GCSE if I take it? I took french just so I could take the GCSE but I'm in year 10 and I can't understand anything the teacher is ranting about most of the lesson -.- There's only 2 people taking french as a third language including me, all the rest are taking it as 2nd and are doing the GCSE. I know that taking a foreign language makes you a better candidate for university but I'm doing the english GCSE and the Arabic GCSE, so is that enough in the "Language department"? Or am I really benefiting from having three language GCSEs? I really can't decide, I've been getting bad grades in french up until now (Mostly because of my bad spelling skills which count a lot in our exams -.-) and I really don't want to take the GCSE and end up getting lower than a B in it... So what do you think? Should I take the french GCSE or is english and arabic GCSEs enough to make a strong candidate for university? I would've taken Japanese if my school offered it. It only offers English, French and Arabic. -.- Plus, I know what you mean by boring. I feel like I'm slowly dying in french class. Last year I could pretend to like it, this year its just impossible. I actually thought I could get an A in the GCSE because I got above 90s in my french exams last year. But thats only cause they were Multiple question exams. This year with the written exams I keep getting in the 70-80s >.< A sign that I shouldn't be taking french?

• Answer:

  If you dropped it would you regret it? I think you should go for it. The more languages you have under your belt the more oppurtunities will come you're way. Just work hard at it and before you know it the exam will be done and out of the way :)
