    Going down:

    Maths
    Biology
    Geography
    English literature

    Why does everyone say English literature is so hard? It's pretty easy.

    Gee, this is hard, I originally thought Maths was hardest, but Chemistry and Physics stepped up the difficulty quite a bit all of a sudden... At the minute I'd say:

    Physics
    Maths
    Chemistry
    Geography

    but I've heard Chemistry gets reeeeally hard as does maths. I found physics pretty easy, then we started a new unit and now I'm completely :confused:
    Regarding Chemistry, my teacher taught us Atomic Theory(CCEA syllabus, small NI exam board) and was convinced it was the hardest thing done at AS-Level. If that's the case, then AS Chemistry is piss easy
