1. Law - near 300 cases to remember with details, let alone to mention acts of parliaments and the actual law itself...god help us law a level students.
2. History - fair amount of reading, but my favourite subject
3. English Language and Literature - standard course

A levels are hideous...

At A2:
Further Maths (FP2-4 mainly)
Physics
Music Tech
Maths
General Studies

Though some bits of Music Tech are harder than some physics (it's hard to get an A* in the coursework) even though it's considered a soft subject. I mostly find normal maths quite easy though.

At AS:
Geography
Physics
Music Tech
Further Maths

I would love those options :') unfortunately I decided to take chemistry instead of music though, and my school doesn't offer music tech :frown:

That's a shame. Music Tech is a lot of fun, I considered doing music but am probably not technically good enough (grade 5/6ish), but music tech it's a lot more focussed on the physics of sound and contemporary music which I think is more interesting, but it does carry a stigma of being a doss subject :/ Most people don't realise how laborious the 60 hours of coursework can be or realise that you actually need a high level of music theory knowledge in the exam (and to compose tbh).

I nearly took Chemistry rather than MT but am really glad I didn't now as MT is so good.

If I was counting General Studies, would probably put in between Chemistry and Physics. Hate writing :mad:

From easiest to hardest:

English lit
Biology
Chemistry
Maths
Physics

But Biology is more difficult because there's so much work, the subject matter itself isn't very difficult to grasp.

Yeah composition was the main reason I didn't take music, although the performance/theory wouldn't bother me and I wish I had taken it now! And 60 hours- I hadn't realised it was that much :redface:

Good luck!
