DD needs to chose her options. She is good at both Geography and IT according to her teachers. She normally gets one of the top marks in Geography tests but she finds the subject boring. She thinks she'll find Computer Science more interesting (after reading both CGP revision guides) and she enjoys programming, but thinks Geography may be easier for her as she is good at absorbing and recalling facts. We have been made told that Computer Science GCSE is a hard GCSE and better suited to those stronger at Maths. She is middle set Maths but when she puts effort in, she's in the top half of middle. However, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to keep her interested in Maths as it gets harder. My background is Comp Sci and Maths but I want her to select based on her skillset and interests.
I'd really like to hear about how others DC's have found Computer Science GCSE ?
