    Hum. I dont know, theyre all challenging in their own ways. Physics and maths are most challenging but most interesting, so i get a lot out of them. I dont get bored easily either because i fall behind otherwise! Ive done a lot of the chemistry cause of separate science, and geography is just...boring

    Last year I found AS Chemistry was harder than AS Physics, AS Maths and A2 Maths.

    Chemistry! Dangerously boring, really hard, and I'm getting Cs and Ds :eek: I just can't do it! It's all maths, no fun stuff at all, just all calculations! Really hard and boring.

    AS subjects (siggy)
    Maths or Chemistry so far Because theres a lot of concepts to understand and a lot of confusing problems to solve in maths.

    All are pretty straightforward really. Biology has a lot of remember though.

    same here, maths. i gotta finish c2 by end of half term holiday, got a mock test coming up.
    probably biology after that. with so much factual information to learn, its very difficult to cram so you gotta keep learning as you go along.

    A2 psychology is so much harder than AS psychology. Totally different ways of studying.

    But back in AS, I found Chemistry really hard. Still do, unfortunately.

    I'm an A2 student doing AS Human Biology and AS Psychology. I'm finding Human Biology harder to do than Psychology because last year, I did more humanity subjects like English and History, and I haven't done anything 'sciency' in over a year.

    But I'm managing .
