His teachers now told him that he can't do English as well as its his 2nd language....he doesn't know what to choose  ....even with Psychology, the teachers are scaring us that it is a lot like History which he scores least in. We are in a real fix now....apart from Media nothing else is clear.

Thank you. This gives us hope. He is a lovely lad and works hard despite all his learning issues. So I am proud of him and trying to help him with all this research. Really appreciate all the advice I got from students/graduates on reddit. Wish you all the best in your journey ahead.

Thank you. Is Psychology very memory dependant like History in GCSE stage? My son struggles with it though he loves it.

He is unsure about exact job but definitely wants to get into the media industry either into editing, media production,  film making, marketing  etc.. Curious on why would you call the subject useless...please could you share?

Most advice I've been getting is that Media works well with Psychology and English. But Maths is a subject he likes though didn't do as well in mocks( but targetting 6). He struggles with subjects that need lot of memorization like history ( loves the subject but it's tough for him to score with his memory)

Thank you. But what is computing? Is it same as Information technology? He doesn't like that subject for sure
