Maths The 3 sciences English Lit History Modern languages
Then traditional subjects like Classics, English Lang, Psychology, Sociology, Geography etc.. are considered next on the pecking order
Although just because these are supposedly the hard subjects doesn't mean you should pick them. You should only pick the subjects that you enjoy and challenge you.
I'd say Chemistry is the one i found hardest, as it was quite challenging, but I also found Physics hard as it gets so boring, and as soon as something isn't interesting it's really difficult to learn. Just my opinion
When people do the maths and look at grades at GCSE and the A level maths and sciences come out as hardest but then it will vary greatly person to person. I'm ok with maths and science but I'd probably have a breakdown in an English exam.
I'm sorry if some ppl don't like this discussion I just wanna repeat what I wrote in my intro... I wanted to know if there was an official list because apparently there is :/ and ppl can post what they think as well! All the ppl who keep saying its subjective, it depends on the person, I know that already

According to a study which followed test results of people through SATs, GCSE's etc all the way up to A-levels, the hardest were Chemistry Physics Further Maths Biology Maths History

I would say for me history is the hardest. The amount of things you are required to learn is just mind-blowing. It takes up more time than all my other three A-levels and more

The sciences and maths are renowned for being particularly hard. However, from someone doing essay based subjects, I wouldn't say they were easy! I think it is fair to say that ALL A level subjects are hard, A levels in general are hell! If you work hard though any subject can become easy.
Whats up with people thinking chemistry is so hard, I would say it has the smallest difficulty increase from gcse than any of my other subjects (the maths and sciences). As other people have said I guess it depends on the person, I know that I would struggle to do English or a foreign language. I also think that as far of sciences are concerned if you understood absolutely everything at GCSE then the step up in difficulty is pretty small, the main difference is that at GCSE the exams will let you get away with more answers that are only partially correct.
