Music: if you're comfortable/confident playing your instrument, it is a great subject to choose, because the practical is worth 50%. And the music technology option within the music practical is very easy to learn, you get marks for saving, retrieving from desktop and printing your 16 bar score. Doing well in the composition paper (25%) is just down to practice, 2 questions a melody and harmony and the only variables are whether its minor/major, or upbeat, or 6/8 time. They get much easier after practice. The hardest part of the paper, in my opinion, is the listening paper (25%), the aural skills question in particular. I am repeating this year and I'm doing music again, and I'm very fortunate that the set works did not change, if they had changed, I might have reconsidered my subject choice. The set works change from course a to course b every 3/4 years I believe. Hope this helps

The set works are going to be different next year, this year is the last time set A will be examined for another 3 years. Next year, it'll be The Beatles, Mozart, Berlioz and some chap called Deane.0 -

Geography - I love it. Project will give you an easy 20% (I'm pretty sure it's 20, could be wrong tho.) The regional side of it is pretty much common sense and the physical is interesting. The elective (biomes/soil for me) is easily learned. I'd totally advise you to do it.
Does the project take long to complete??
is the course long?? Doable in a year yes?? U reckon. I might pick up two new subjects next year.. So I probably would have quite sometime for it.. 0 -
