Perhaps you shouldn't attempt this if you have never done any compsing before.

Music GCSE, huh? Pick whatever scale you want as long as you are confident with it, and pick chords to fit. You may want to change key in the middle, perhaps from major into minor.

Yes. In a Major key, it will always be:

1. Maj
2. min
3. min
4. Maj
5. Maj
6. min
7. Half diminished.
