I'm screwed then.

LOOOL! Why? If you get all As and at least A* in these subject then you are more likely to get a place in top five uni!

I joke!

The step up from GCSE languages to AS and A Level is pretty difficult. That said, I do Spanish and I really enjoy it now - I've just started U6 and the course is really interesting this year, so I definitely don't regret taking it. Besides, knowing a language opens a lot of doors.

Apart from that.... hmmmm..... There's an awful lot to learn for history, but I wouldn't say the subject matter is difficult.

Apart from that I do English Lit and Biology, and they're both absolutely fine.

it depends on the person....some people have a natural ability for arts and humanities and languages, some people for the sciences and mathmatics...

what you should be looking at is taking 'traditional academic' subjects as it is hard to class these into hard and easy as everyone is different

and above all **** what is hard or easy...do subjects you enjoy and can do well in...theres no point in doing 4 'hard' subjects and getting low grades when you could have done other subjects and got A's...

Totally agree and understand. *stares at fiendishly difficult untouched comprehension in schoolbag* I spend most of my free time revising vocab and learning new vocab. I'll know over 2500 latin words by the time I complete my A level, or at least I should. D:

Haha, I actually love latin! I'm finding it sooo much easier than my GCSE physics, lol. Although our teacher gave us an A2 comprehension last lesson, that was hard!

But I guess I would find physics the hardest if I was ever crazy enough to try A-level!

chemistry

[Moa]

FM, very rewarding though

[fletcheroo]

Bit of a stupid question as it's by and large based on the individual, i mean i guess art or a language would be alien to me because i closed those alleys long ago. From a neutral stance i'd still maintain languages are tricky.

[kiiloooo]

A2 maths and chemistry O___o
so so hard =[

i found music at AS difficult too...the listening exam {not the performing and composing..i loved them =])

[microfatcat]

Further maths and physics. Chemistry is my easiest subject, but it depends because I take history, and that's about exam technique too. I always type my essays for homework, so I can go back, re edit, add the intro at the end, etc. Whereas with chemistry you either know it or you don't, and you can easily hit all those questions out the way. I got slaughtered in physics however

[ttoffee]

Maths, MUSIC
Music is much much much harder than a lot of ppl think
and according to statistics its the second most difficult after physics lol

[I'm_Unsafe.]

I got an A* in French GCSE and a B for A Level. So yeah that was easily my personal hardest A Level (out of English, History and Biology).

But, my face = throughout Chemistry GCSE (followed by upon gaining a B in it).
And after gaining an A in Maths at GCSE (happier days) my face was rapidly upon attempting a 'stepping stone' course before A Level. So yeah, those two are my 'nemesis'. I step back in awe and admiration of those who understand Chemistry.

[shs9001]

For the people saying maths, by common knowledge/subject title you should know that further maths > maths in terms of difficulty. Although this is subjective, someone may find FM easier than normal maths.... I haven't met anyone like this, but they exist (maybe?). Either way, I think it's pretty obvious that any subject that requires prior skills or knowledge that you don't have will be insanely hard, eg. Art with no drawing skill or English Lit if you came from a foreign country and you thought you could learn English from an A-level when you struggled to fill in the application [There was a guy in my secondary school who attempted to do this lol].

No single hardest, but the combination below might be it:

Try one Art + Maths + Science; my GCSE Physics teacher did that, he's crazy.

Try Art+Maths+Further Maths+ Physics (self teach) +AS's in the following: Psycology, Religeous Syudies and Chemistry...I did...
The combination is crazy because the ways in your which work is assesed vary so much...unless you have my brain then you'll be making yourself difficulty for difficulties sake...personally I enjoyed every subject except chemistry which is why i took them all...my brain nearly exploded and it doesn't go down very well on your UCAS because universities think you're flaky...giving you even more work to do salvaging your academic life...but you'll certainly challenge yourself

On a more helpful note it all depends on how your brain works...you can't say you want to take 'difficult' subjects; math and art are both difficult to do well...and easy to do average in or if you don't care very much...I'd say this applies for every subject...personally I found chemistry the most difficult...and a lot of people agree...but a lot of people also disagree...it also didn't help that it was the only subject I took which I found I didn't enjoy as much as the others so I didn't put as much effort in
Physics on the other hand I am finding the easiest...because I love it and I'm putting all my time into it now my other subjects are done and dusted (maybe should have mentioned that above )
Further maths is more of a challenge if you enjoy maths and want to go down that route and doing more maths on top of that will continue to stretch your mathematical ability...unfortunately I don't think there's a similar option in any other subject
Plus a lot of people say maths is difficult...personally I think it's easy...but you couldn't pay me to do geography or biology...we're all differnt

[bittersweet.poetry]

I would say the sciences and languages are generally the hardest A levels. I found Biology extremely difficult. I studied damn hard for that subject and still ended up with a crappy grade

[Jimlon0]

Trust me when I say you want to do subjects you enjoy. It's all very well doing hard subjects but if you hate them you will just fail. I took two that I severely regret and wish i could go back and change them.

[ellemewo]

maths, physics, biology, chemistry and english literature imo

I like it too but it doesn't stop it from being hard! AS -> A2 is a jump, GCSE -> AS isn't. I agree in what you're saying- I always found physics hard and couldn't wait to drop it! It just never made much sense to me.

I've done that (French, English language. Maths, Physics) and I don't find it hard at all. That may just be because I enjoy all subjects and have never really been better or worse at a particular type of subject. I suppose this combination would be hard if you were better at science but did an art subject as well, or vice versa.
