AS - (Hardest to easiest)

1. Philosophy and Ethics; so many new theories, so abstract and generally just a fumble to remember
2. English lit; such a big jump from the GCSE! So many quotes that I never bothered to learn :P
3. Psychology; nothing too taxing, 'cept the really boring case studies on developmental psych *yawn*
4. History; enjoyed it, really interesting. Sources were kinda meh though :/

A2 - (Hardest to easiest)

1. English Lit (dear GOD, I hate this subject with a passion -.- the OCR board is evil, we're doing the Waste Land by TS Eliot. That poem needs to die.
2. Psychology (lot of content!)
3. History (doing the Cold War, really interesting)

Physics ---> its definitely a really hard subject, you never understand the concepts in class only it requires a lot of reading up on principles.

Computing(Programming sucks a-ss)

Maths(I enjoy it very much and my teacher is superb :smile:

Psychology- there's so much stuff to remember and sorting it all out into A01 & A02 points makes my head hurt
Chemistry- the calculations are hell
Biology- it's all information dense but I really like biology :biggrin:

French- the grammar isn't that bad but the subjunctive tense is so confusing ¬_¬

I freaking hate the subjunctive. Le subjonctif est le plus difficile point grammaire en français á mon avis :frown:

My most difficult is French by far
Geography
Maths
Biology
English
History

Hardest = Chemistry: just couldn't do it. Not sure why, don't really care now i'm done with it :P
Biology: was OCR and their mark schemes are disgusting and you have to remember loads of nitty gritty information and it's horrible
Psychology: lots to remember but I love it and seem to be ok at it
Easiest = Critical thinking: just a bit of a doss really

So far, for me, from hardest to easiest, I'd say:

AS Economics
AS Physics ≈ AS Further Maths
A2 Maths

Not really finding any of them particularly difficult, though.

From hardest to easiest:

1) Philosophy (not that the content was harder - but the marking seemed less predictable so it was harder to know exactly what to do)
2) Biology
3) Chemistry
4) Maths
5) Critical thinking
