I'd agree with TM and suggest the triple though it does probably depend on how much weaker/stronger your DD is. Looking at the data above, it seems that the boundaries at the lower end, say a grade 5 or 6, are higher for the combined than the individual sciences. Being weaker in 1 subject might still allow your DD to pull out a respectable grade in that subject without risking dragging down 2 combined grades. Besides, 2 high grades might be enough when considering top 8 GCSE results, allowing the lowest science to be masked. Again, probably best to consult the school.
