Only my eldest son is wanting to take triple science because of the career path he's wanting to take.
im not sure, i did double science which wasnt that difficult i didnt think, we did each science separately with different teachers, different exams for each etc but only came out with 2 gcses instead of 3. and also we just got 2 of the same grade rather than varying grades like i think you get with triple science (although im not 100% sure). my school didnt give the option of doing triple science when i was there, all the boys schools though were made to do triple science, and a lot of them went on to do at least one science subject at alevel so they must have got at least a B in that subject to do it. so i dont know from personal experience how difficult it is to take but i do know quite a lot of people who did well in it to carry it on to alevel. also, one of my sis friend did triple science and got 3 As
i do know, however, that alevel sciences most people tend to find difficult. the thing with taking triple science rather than double science at gcse is that if you take an alevel science the jump between gcse and alevel wont be as large cos you will have covered more stuff at gcse
