For an OPTI role, what GCSEs besides Maths and English are needed?

I'm getting my GCSEs before applying in about 18 months from now. I'm considering Spanish, Psychology, Computer science, and Religious Studies. Maybe also Chemistry. Does it sound about right? Thanks

    Hi Roberto,

    For the OPTI role the requirements are GCSE Grade A–C/9-4 in Maths, English Lang and 3 other subjects. These other three must be academic subjects including: History, Geography, Science (Science double counts as 2 GCSEs), Physics, Biology, Chemistry, English Literature, Business Studies, or any language qualifications.

    Spanish, Psychology, Computer science and Chemistry would be all good choices.
