Physics - the maths wasn't difficult but I often found getting my head around the theory very hard.
Music Technology - I realise that this is considered a 'doss' subject but when you haven't taken Music up to GCSE and you have no musical background or knowledge of Music theory, it's not easy. I found the technology part a doddle but the music theory was confusing and because I am not a creative person in the slightest I would struggle to actually get any ideas down. I left a ~40 hour composition piece until 3 days before the deadline.
Maths - some things were either pathetically easy or bloody hard, there was no in between! It's easier to get more marks in than other subjects though.

Chemistry - VERY difficult to understand but a little easier with a private tutor. Interesting however once you get the hang of it
Biology - Lots to memorize understand
Maths - Keeps getting more and more difficult to understand, and you HAVE to keep catching up on the work otherwise you'll struggle with other topics (in my experience)
Psychology - Quite a bit to memorize but mostly just case studies.

Chemitry - Dropped it now though. I think its the fact that it was boring, which meant I did barely any work and therefore found it hard, rather than it actually being a hard subject.
Maths - tricky but once you've done a million past papers it's ok.
German - Grammar, Grammar, Grammar
Biology - Just a lot of words to remember really.

Hardest to easiest:
History- Most difficult, but also enjoyable. You have to put the work in, there's no winging it. Huge amount of content. But also the most rewarding, as I ended up with an A
English- Again, you really have to know your stuff to do well imo.
Religious Studies- Not exactly a breeze, requires a fair bit of reading and understanding some content can be difficult. But overall quite straight-forward
Psychology (Only did it to AS)- Easy. Like a memory test imo... Just learn exactly what it says in the textbook and it's an A!
General Studies- Easiest. No explanation necessary

From hardest to easiest.
Politics
Economics
History
Philosophy.
Having to keep up to date w/ politics is hard. Philosophy is really easy. Probably because my school is **** and uses the easiest exam board (AQA) for all my subjects except History.

English Lit - it was alright last year when I actually cared about it - it's obviously harder if you don't really want to do the work.
Law - Should be easy, but the supply teacher we have is...erm, not brilliant.
Classical Civilisation
English Language - Only easy because I love it so much. <3
