I finished school in Greece, so the system there is different than the UK system. I chose History, Ancient Greek, Latin, Modern Greek. Also, bear in mind that I finished school about 100 years ago 🙂 , so things have changed since then.
In Hong Kong it loosely followed the British system, where instead of GCSEs we had HKCEEs, albeit much more intense and tougher. I did HKCEEs in French (which used IGCSE papers), English, Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Visual Arts and (mandatory among Anglican schools) Religious Studies. For the same diet I also took an IGCSE in Chinese where of course I aced it.
After HKCEEs there used to be two more years of Sixth Form which prepared you for the Hong Kong A-Levels – arguably one of the most insane exam syllabi in human history. Nowadays there are no more HKCEE/HKALs in Hong Kong and they’ve sinced reduced 7 years of high school education to just 6 years (not unlike Scotland), replacing two exams with a new one called the HKDSEs.
