What GCSE options shall I take to become a nurse/doctor or an accountant?
Hello, I want to become a nurse or doctor or an accountant. But I dont know what GCSE options I should take. I was thinking of Art and History because I really enjoy those subjects and someone told me that you dont have to do related subjects with medical because there's only science which is related. But then i wanted to become an accountant aswell, so I was thinking of doing Business Studies and History but i really enjoy Art, so what shall I take?? Please help me.. does it really matter at this stage what you want to take? Or is it A Levels that is more important in what you choose?? Pleaseee helppp.. thanks! also, do you need to do 2 languages to become an accountant or doctor or nurse? no, we're only allowed to do 2 optionaal subjects and 1 reserve..

Answer 1 :
A levels matter far more than GCSE's. Just make sure to take subjects you like doing, that is the most important thing. When universities look at GCSE's, they will most likely look at the grade range and not subject choice.
Answer 2 :
Doctor: Maths English Biology First Aid Accountant: Maths English Business Studies Bookkeeping Not very many schools do all of these though, so good luck.
Answer 3 :
art and business studies are really good gcses, i really enjoyed them and came out with 3 As ( i done double award art) history will be good for medical history i guess, but other than that you will probably need your sciences, so take triple science if your school offers that. Also try and get a few weeks work experience in either a medical or accountancy environment
Answer 4 :
It is A Levels that count, so don't worry. Definitely take History - this is well respected and needed for the new government English Baccalaureate. If you are not already taking a language, make sure to take one, because you also need a language for the EB. When it comes to Art and Business Studies, I personally would recommend Business. This is EASY to get an A* in and is also very interesting (always a plus). With Art, THOUSANDS of candidates get literally 100% and then the grade boundaries start getting ridiculous, so unless you are amazing at Art, I'd say go with Business Studies, since you'll almost definitely get a better grade in it. Business was really interesting when I did it. But by all means take Art if you really LOVE it! And don't worry, GCSE options really don't matter that much at all - you can always pick subjects up at A Level e.g. I never took GCSE Geography, yet I'm now doing it for A Level and I'm still predicted an A*, so you really won't be at any disadvantage if you were to pick a subject up!! Don't worry! Best of wishes :)
Answer 5 :
I do business studies and i think now that is is my favourite lesson, i want to be a dentistt or something like that. i would do business and triple science (if you are not doing them early like i did) you should also chose a subject that you really like, something thats not to hard so that you can concentrate on other things more to get better grades dont think you need 2 languages to be a doctor or nurse i think that universities mainly look at grades depending or which course you want to do btw dont you get three options anyway(: good luck(:
