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


Ha you haven't discovered natural art. If I went to start a civilisation on an island. I'd take a scientist. The trees and sky and sunset and flowers.That's enough and far better than what humans will ever create.
Biology (hardest)
Chemistry
Psychology
Mathematics (easiest)

Economics has gotta be up there. I understood the content but the exam questions were a joke!
Just woke up so got no idea!

Out of my subjects?
Physics
Chemistry
Biology
English Literature
Critical Thinking

I'd say General Studies/Critical Thinking are the easiest in general.
Economics
Sociology
Psychology
English Literature.

But a difficult subject would depend on the individual, surely?
Somebody else may find economics really easy but find English Literature hard.
Out of the ones I do. My opinion from today.

English Lit (Hardest just because I'm quite lazy when it comes to thinking outside the box)
Drama and Psychology (Equal. Yes, I do find drama quite hard. It's not just prancing about on stage pretending to be a tree)
Music (Easiest, but it's the only one I fully understand and I'm fairly quick at doing the work)

This changes most days though depending on what I do in class.

Edit: If anyone has read my signature then you will see I got an E in Critical Thinking. Peronsally, I'd put it above English Lit but that's only because we didn't actually get taught it very well/often and the teacher kept getting side tracked and started teaching us psychology. I'm sure that if I got taught it now alongside the rest of my AS's then I'd probablly find it the easiest

The best way to qaulify this is with a thought experiment. If you were to pick out 1000 random members of the British public which exams would they get the lowest marks.

Yeah but you can bet your bottom dollar the scientist would destroy it with his power stations etc.

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:


Sciences least useful, arts and design most useful! Are you fkin serious! What job are you gunna get with a ****** art degree, or even an English degree for the matter!?

Geography
Economics
French
Government&Politics
Critical Thinking
Maths is the hardest i think.
And id probably say sociology is the easiest.
Physics is definitely the hardest of my A-Levels.
Of mine.
1. Economics (very easy theory stuff, failed exam, HARD)
2. Applied ICT - The ammount of work is unreal
3. History - Two exams and A2 Coursework, easy :smile:
4. Applied Business - Mixes of math, economics and english, pretty much common sense
5. World Development - Super easy geography and stuff, easiest AS level ever. DO IT!
It sometimes depends on the exam board...
