The choice seems to be sensible that you have taken above, I might have suggested "Mechanics" as opposed to stats and perhaps Chemistry isnt too important so perhaps take an easier GCSE so that you simply get at least one very good grade in something?

You could have 50 GCSE's and 20 A-levels but if you only partialled your IR but your competition passed first time they'll pick the other guy. Personally I never put grades on my CV just that id passed them, if whoever you apply for is that interested they'll ask to see your certificates, but by that time you already probably have an interview which they'll put more emphasis on then whether you got a B or an A at GCSE    Report

Be sure to get your Class 1 Medical as soon as you start your PPL training! Have you done any flying yet?    Report
