  I didn’t do GCSEs because I grew up in Scotland. Instead, I sat the following exams:
  
  Age 15: Intermediate 2 music (GCSE equivalent)
  Age 16: Standard Grade English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, German, Intermediate 2 Modern Studies (Politics etc.) (all GCSE equivalent) and I did some highers (between GCSE and A-level) a year early in classical studies and music.

  In terms of GCSE, I did:
  English lit, english lang, maths, triple science, french, food tech, geography, religious studies, astronomy
  
  However, I felt that my A-level choices were more important to progressing in science:
  Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Maths (although with hindsight further maths could have been useful)

  At GCSE: English, Maths, Science, French, Business, Religious Education, Media Studies, and another one that I can’t remember!
  
  I also think A levels are more important, because you can focus on something that is related to a career or a degree. I did: Chemistry, Biology, Maths, Philosophy, History
