Rank your A-levels in order of difficulty

Psychology - It's stupid and I hate it and it's a distance learning course and the teacher hates my class.
Maths - I am finding it hard to understand atm but I'm sure it will get easier with time.
Biology - A lot of stuff to memorise but pretty fun to do.
Chemistry - Pretty straight forward and enjoyable so far.

I initially saw this at the bottom of your list and was like "WTF IT IS THE HARDEST A LEVEL THERE IS"

and then I realised it was modern Greek :ashamed2:

Hahahah I know Ancient Greek is tough, and not at all enjoyable imo ^.^ Modern Greek AS is ridiculously easy. A2 is much harder though, it's like English Lit but in Greek!

I've already done mine, but from hardest to easiest:

-Biology (I found many questions ambiguous and the answers/explanations to be a bit abstract)
-Maths (It's a nationally recognised difficult subject, basically!)
-Chemistry (I quite liked this and found a lot of it very logical)
-Physics (I know it's odd that I've put this as my easiest, but I really enjoyed it so it came more naturally)

1. Chemistry (I dropped out in my first year due to the sheer difficulty)
2. Biology (stopped after getting a D in AS) - the ambiguity of the questions posed much difficulty for me, I couldn't seem to get round the fact that the question asked for one thing, but the mark scheme seemed to contain a lot of irrelevant stuff to get the marks
3. English Lit - I find the amount of work makes this difficult and summoning the energy to get on with it because its boring. So I'd say this actually makes it a hard subject, despite its incorrect label of being 'easy'.
4. History - not exactly hard once you get to grips with exam technique, got an A in AS and now doing A2 which doesn't seem harder, just a lot more content)
5. Law - easy. All you have to do is basically memorize previous cases which demonstrate powers of courts.

1 = hard

In order from most difficult to least, for me personally: English Literature, Welsh, Biology, French. It was alright at AS, but I'm very scared about English this year. D:
