As expected, lots of the 'easy' ones. TBH I'd reckon that's pretty do-able - I got close to full marks in 7 subjects (6 proper ones plus critical thinking) and found that fine; I didn't work that hard and had loads of time-consuming extra-curriculars and a social life. But I got far more out of my extra-currics than I would have out of doing so many extra subjects!Live on £4000 a Year Challenge member

You've put "thinking skills" twice...
It's hardly easy but he did take a lot of complimentary subjects like 4 mathematics courses so they all support each other. Oh and "critical thinking" and "thinking skills" are a complete joke, they really shouldn't count. Neither should "general studies" or "applied ICT" as both could be done by a 12yr old.
He's still done bloody well though.The size of a glory hole in an open pit should not be greater than the cross-section of the haul trucks that dump into it. Otherwise, you are bound to lose a truck, sooner or later. Source: Sergio Cha
