For me, right now:

Maths
History
English Lit
Politics

But I've only been studying them for a few months. I also struggled with Maths at the start because I did no Maths for the whole of Year 11, so it's taking a little while to get back into the swing of it.
My a-levels were six years ago, but ok. Hardest to easiest;

Psychology - loads of cases and random info to remember, and I didn't find it that interesting so I struggled to force myself to memorise it.
Chemistry - Big jump from GCSE, from what I remember. Not too difficult, though, really, just slightly harder than bio/maths.
Biology - Not really difficult either.
Maths - Easiest by far, because I found it the most enjoyable.

Going from the hardest to the easiest:

1) Physics
2) Further maths
(I would tie physics and further maths first but I think physics just edges FM)
3) Maths
4) French
Tbh, I'd tie maths and French too but maths requires a bit more effort than French. I probably find French and maths easy because they are my 2 favourite subjects. :smile:
