At A2 its

English L&L

Mainly because the module we're doing in sociology now is very bland.

I do IB but I see no reason for me not to post.

Maybe because the IB is for people who aren't team players! :angry:

I find all my subjects easy, since I took quite easy-to-understand subjects - no sciences (since Psychology isn't generally considered a 'real' science subject at AS/A2!) and I dropped History because I didn't have the motivation to put in the volume of work. In order of how enjoyable they are, though: English Lit., Religious Studies, Psychology and History. :tongue:

Maths - because I'm not great at Maths
English Lit - Easy for me, but there's coursework and my teacher set homework every lesson which was very time consuming.
Politics - Lower level of homework than English

Hardest to easiest:

Chemistry - Loads of stuff to remember
Further maths - I found some concepts fairly hard
Physics - Generally ok but would often loose marks on explanation-type questions
Maths - Really easy

I like this thread, here's my order:

Further Maths (Hardest)
Physics
Chemistry (Easiest)

Further Maths A2 has started feeling like a very large jump from Maths A2, although I'm guessing the actual exams will be alright.

EDIT: At AS:

Physics (Hardest)
English Literature
Chemistry
Further Maths
Maths

Was 2 years ago, but:

Further Maths
Biology
Physics
Chemistry
Maths

Physics/chemistry/maths were very very easy. Biology was harder because I don't like essays. Further maths was the only really hard one (FP2/FP3 were not fun)
