From the subjects I did;

The subjects I took, at AS and A2 were

1. Philosophy
2. ICT (hard to do well in, as opposed to subject matter)
3. Further Maths
4. Maths
5. Biology
6. General Studies

1=hardest.

I was terrible at philosophy, and maths is my degree subject.

It's subject, but of my subjects:
-English Literature
-Economics
-Further Maths
-Maths

But that's just my opinion, I'm sure most would disagree with me ranking maths as the easiest

This is daft, it varies for everyone.
Some people would find maths incredibly difficult, whereas I didn't generally, yet I would have hated french/german/spanish and done poorly at it!
From hardest to easiest:

Chemistry
Further Maths
Maths
Physics

General Studies was a bit weird. The science/maths/language modules were ridiculously easy, got 100% on each one. But the I found the two government and politics modules so difficult that General Studies got me the lowest amount of UMS points overall. I'm not really sure where it would fit into that list.

Science least useful eh? :curious: I take it you don't particularly care for things like those useless things like electricity, medicine and the internet?


but what would we do with things like electricity and the internet if it wasnt for the artist / designer? There would be no entertainment andnothing to live for

I hate this notion that scientists are somehow boring bastards. You don't need a piece of paper to be an artist - that's the whole point of art.

Sciences - LEast useful (HARDEST)
Social Sciences -Little more useful
Languages and Literary things - Quite useful
Arts and Design -VERY useful (EASIEST)

My own opinion remember! Take it or leave it :wink:


This, however your evaluation of usefulness is completely wrong imo, everything should be the other way around.
Philosophy.
psychology,
English,
Sociology

Chemistry is the hardest. Psychology is the easiest

From experience for me (personally)

1. Biology (hardest)
2. German
3. Chemistry
4. Maths (easiest)
Reply 78
from hardest to easiest

f. maths
german
physics
maths
english lit.

that's in terms of actual difficulty, but due to interests not being the same for all subjects, I'll probably get my highest grades in maths, f. maths, and physics
It's all subjective, for me:

Chemistry
Physics
Maths
English Lit.

But ironically, English lit was the one that got ****** up ;D
