Just wondering how difficult people are finding their AS/A2 levels!

finished mine a year and a half ago, but overall I'd say:

Maths
Chemistry
Biology
Psychology
General Studies (absolute LOL of a subject :tongue:

)

Hardest - chemistry
f. maths
physics
maths
biol

Exam (how difficult it is to do well in an exam):

Hardest: biol
chem
phys
f. maths
maths

The difference between the two is vital. There is a special place in hell reserved for the examiners who write such quirky and constricted biology mark schemes. But the way the maths exams are so repetitive is a joke, although this effect lessens with harder modules.

English Lit - I worked ridiculously hard but still don't know what the examiners wanted off me. Neither does my school.
History - lots of knowledge and a lot of the marking is messed up.
German - the speaking test!!!???
Maths - some bits were very hard but generally if you knew the methods you were fine.

History - not necessarily that hard, but awfully inconsistent marking!

General Studies - easy but pointless

Geography - the exams were a marathon, and the syllabus was boring
History - coursework was stupidly long, the Tudors were boring
Biology - exams were written strangely
English Lit - I found it easy because I enjoyed it!

Physics
Chemistry
Economics
Biology

Biology is the easiest for me because I enjoy reading about it (except for ecology ¬_¬...), mainly human biology..

Economics I also enjoy but some concepts are difficult to grasp, however I don't enjoy essay writing either.

Chemistry is hard but once you understand it your sorted.

Physics is just weird.

I'm Australian but I wanna complain about my subjects so:

English lit - the analysis required is intense gaaaah
Music - it's basically three subjects in one goddamnit.
Maths (highest level) - eh whatever. this is the hardest of my easier subjects
Economics - it's so relevant to everything. I love it. easy.
Modern History - yay history my lover

through my first lot of exams I did chem and specialist maths too. they were is a completely different category for difficulty for me, especially the maths. it wouldn't have been so bad if i'd studied but I didn't.....

I'm also Australian (well, soon to be). I just finished high school in QLD. I agree with you :smile:

English Lit in year 12 is a bitch! Stupid bloody final assignment was a pain in the arse.

Actually, I reckon Psychology and Economics to be of the same level of difficulty, the same applies to Maths and Accounting. However, if a ranking has to be done, it would be that as above.
