My son is in GCSE year. He has an above average IQ but has slow processing and a poor working memory - he therefore has always found schoolwork and exams harder than most. I think he’ll get 5/6s in most subjects.
I’m wondering whether BTECs are better suited to pupils like him. I believe they have more coursework.
Any advice appreciated, particularly from anyone with experience of BTECs. Most people I know seem very A level focused.
He’s going to move schools for sixth form and one of the ones we’ve looked at has a BTEC option. His current school is strictly A levels or Baccalaureate only.
