GCSE computer science v physics

[jadedagain]

Any advice for my ds2 who is about to take options-he can choose between these two (has to take one). Doesn't find either of them easy (he's dyslexic, maths ok-target 6). He got significantly higher in CS exam than physics but mainly because he receives a lot of help from his teacher. He is leaning to CS but older child says it gets much harder in year 10/11 and the grade boundaries are much lower for physics so easier to pass. Is this true?

CS is definitely not an easy choice. We were told at Year 9 that the decision as to whether they could take CS at GCSE was based on academic ability.

@WhereAreWeNow
Is that double science plus CS vs triple science?

Yes, that's right @stubiff. She's good at both but I think she's been enjoying CS a bit more partly because she really likes her teacher.
