Is GCSE history hard?
If you are prepared to put the work in during the class there is no reason that you cannot pass the course and exams. However, without an interest in those topics you might find it hard going, it seems a very narrow focus to build a syllabus on though. Actors need to be able to understand some history to get into some parts.
What gcse do you need to become a lawyer ?
Your GCSE subjects don't matter - the grades you get in them are far more important. Some universities are notoriously picky about GCSEs (LSE in particular state on their website that they require a string of A* and A grades at GCSE and Oxford - though this is debatable). Most universities just want a minimum of a B grade in maths and English language - as long as you get that, it's fine. Obviously, make sure you do well at GCSE i.e. nothing really less than B grades (maybe the odd C). My GCSEs were 'average' and, in the context of my school, not that good - I got 3 As, 8 Bs and 1 C but they were by no means a barrier for me when I applied to law. Your A-level grades AND subject choices are the primary factor. At A-level, it's probably too early to think about your choices but just as a heads up, universities offering law require strong subjects and they like essay based ones (particularly English lit and/or history). They aren't compulsory but it'll help. I chose English lit, economics and psychology and I'm starting a law degree at University of Leicester in 2 weeks. Hope I helped.
Should i take IGCSE history or art?
I've decided to take all sciences and arabic and french, but im not sure whether to take history or art. I want to be an architect, but is art really useful for that? And is taking history too much work with the sciences?
What GCSE grades are needed to study history and law at Oxbridge (Oxford or Cambridge university)?
In my experience as a teacher, a typical successful applicant has 8-12 GCSEs, with at least 6 at A* and the rest at grade A. You might get away with one bad grade, especially if it’s in an irrelevant subject and you can make a compelling argument as to why you did poorly. (If you’re applying to read Maths, for example, and you have outstanding scores in Maths and Physics, but a C in French because you’re dyslexic and just couldn’t cope with a foreign language, you’re probably OK. If, as you say, you’re applying to read History or Law, I’m not sure what you could get away with: Maths might be irrelevant for either subject, but it’s also a standard marker for general intelligence, so I doubt you’d get away with anything below an A grade.)More important are your AS results. They are looked at module by module and typically a successful candidate will not only have all A grades, but UMS scores averaging around 97 out of 100.Despite teaching for 23 years, Oxbridge admissions still remain a bit of a mystery to me. I’ve seen weak applicants get offers, and strong applicants get rejected. My own tutor at school described Oxbridge admissions as a lottery, and I’m sure she’s still right.There is no harm in applying. Cambridge has always been clear that it is looking for three outstanding AS level results (in ‘qualifying’ subjects) as a minimum for consideration. If you don’t have that, you should brace yourself for disappointment.High grades are just the beginning, of course. Oxford has a number of screening tests it uses before candidates get anywhere near an interview. Cambridge often has tests on the day of the interview (if you get one) as well as the interview itself.Your personal statement should evidence real passion for the subject you’re applying for. This will obviously include much independent reading.Even then, if there are 30 applicants for your course at your chosen college, and you’re ranked 4th, you’ve done incredibly well. But if your college only has three places available, you’re not getting in. (Well, you’ll be pooled, but that brings no guarantees.)For more detailed advice on the personal statement, see my (free) book: UCAS guide

Can i become a lawyer or barrister with these GCSE's?
Hi, You will need to pass English, Maths, Science for sure. But to get into law, A-Levels are more important as they decide whether you can take a law degree and if you get really good grades you can go to a better university for the degree. Although, GCSE's are very important. Nowadays, getting onto any law degree is hard let alone in a good university. So if you want to go to a good university for your LLB, which you should, then good GCSEs will help to set you apart from other candidates. Most LLBs (qualifying law degree) are asking for AAA at A-Level now, and will not take lower, so good GCSEs will help influence their decision.. Along with an outstanding personal statement, a good range of extra-curricular activities that show desirable qualities and any experience you can gain in the field of law. Look for a part time job as an office junior in a solicitors - whilst you will only photocopy and answer phones etc, you will learn alot about the life at work of a solicitor and it will give you the people skills, as well as showing your dedication to entering law. Back to your GCSEs though, I'd say make sure you do well in them and ditto to A-Levels - also, pick your A-Level choices wisely. Some good universities will not accept courses like Art and Music towards degrees like law, science etc - as they are not easily transferrable/related. Out of your GCSEs, the ones that will help you most on A-Level law/degree will be english and history (as it helps with essay writing, critique, evaluation) Hope this helps :)
Can i be a lawyer with an averge set of gcse results?
The short answer is yes at gcse that performance would be enough, but you would need to up you game at college and uni. To become a lawyer you will need to go to uni and to go to uni you will need to go to sixth form and to get into sixth form you will need 5 a-c gcse grades, which is what your getting so your on track. But make sure you pass english, as although you will be able to get into college without a gcse in english you may not be able to take law as the requirements for a level law vary at each college but usally require you to have at least a c in english. Finally, for your a levels I would defintely suggest doing law if you want to become a lawyer as for the rest try to pick ones that relate to law or ones you enjoy. But to get into a good uni which will make your path to uni easy you should be aiming for a b in all three a levels at least. And just a quick note once you've got a levels they dont really look at your gcse's, but they could become the deciding factor if you've got two similar candidates but ones got poor gcse's, but your gcse's arent poor they are probably right on the national average.
What do you have to do to become a Lawyer?
I'm 14 and I am very strong-willed about becoming a Lawyer. I am starting my GCSE's in September and I have chosen to do: Triple Science, French, History, GCSE P.E (and an extra GCSE of Law at college once a week) Have I chose the right subjects - excluding GCSE P.E. and Triple Science? Furthermore, I'm not sure what type of Lawyer I want to be yet, but what else would I need to do to become a Lawyer? Moreover, how much - a year - do Lawyers make? I'd love to get answers from Lawyers if possible or just people who know a lot about this subject in general! One last question in this question is what should I do and where should I go after High School to fulfill this goal? Thank you for your answers! I appreciate them all greatly!
