I would like to, but I'm not sure if it's really worth it. I would like to become a GP or a doctor, but if I take triple science, I only get one other option choice, and I'm not sure what to do.
Any advice would be appreciated

If u don't take triple u still study the 3 sciences but only get 2 GCSEs.. so in my opinion it makes sense to do triple as u get 3 (obviously) it Will also give you a firmer foundation for a-level and university science

I had to chose either Double or Triple Science and ended up taking double as my science isnt my strongest subject. Triple science does take an extra option up so it is very annoying. My advice is not to pick it. You dont have to study Triple to become a doctor. Its GCSE level. If you feel the same in your A level choices then pick the thre sciences but now however do not. You can become a GP with a double science. My friend has done double and is now studying the medicine career. Reasons not to pick it. You might not want to do it in the future. A whole life dedicated to medicine ummm. It also limits your options as if you decide not do then what subjects do you have to back up on. You could be really bad at it thus its a waste. It would require huge amounts of work and revision so your grade could be affeced. Your teacher could be sh*t. I strongly suggest not to take triple. Pick something like Geography, History, Business Studies or Philosophy and Ethics (this includes medical ethics. This subject is more interesting than it sounds).

Haha that's the same choice I had 2 years ago- I chose to do it and found it very difficult, I was predicted straight A's and in the end got an A and 2 B's, Chemistry defiantly wasn't my strong point. In our school it was quite a rush to get all the work in as you end up doing an extra coursework and 3 extra modules which all take time. I would take it if you enjoy science and feel that you are good at it. I was only keen on the physics side of it and concentrated on that, that's maybe why I didn't do so well. Also it depends on if you want to do another subject, as in 2 other options- I really wasn't bothered about any of the other subjects on offer so that sort of swung it, at the end of the day if you enjoy it I'd take it- if not- theres no point wasting time

It gives you more knowledge, therefore you wouldn't struggle from the jump of GCSE to A levels AS MUCH. I'm taking it and I don't think it's too hard at all, I'm even glad I took it as it's well respected and may show universities that you've been consistent of wanting to be a doctor i.e you have been since your GCSEs as you took triple. Then again i had 3 options available as well as the triple award, so...

It is not required. You can do Double Award Science, which will be useful, and maybe Further Mathematics. Focus on getting excellent grades in English literature and language, and Mathematics. Geography, and History also give you good skills for studing at A/AS level.
Have a look at the local 6th forms and colleges in your area http://www.yell.co.uk and see if there website will tell you what GCSE are prerequisites for AS/Alevel Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. As universities will look more at a good A'level result and subsequently a good quality degree at university.
You could speak to a teacher, and ask for there advice as well.
Well done, on thinking ahead into your future, I wish you the best of luck with your medical studies, I'm sure you will do well.

Triple science was only offered at my school to the brighter students. If you can take it I would say go for it because there are then 3 separate GCSE's instead of combining them and help you with you future career if you work hard and get good grades. Good Luck!

Definitely take it, you can't become a doctor/GP without it. If you want, go for double, but you lose that future career. Only having one option is tough but there's nothing you can do.
Make it a fun one.

I've heard that to be a doctor you really only need one or two of them (I think it was definately chemistry you needed and possibly biology), but don't quote me on that!! But I think if you had a broad range of subjects, then it'd show potential medical schools that you're not just solely concerned with academics and science etc etc. Anyway good luck whatever happens
