A-Levels you regretted taking.

Chemistry, and Maths AS, 'nuff said.

I didn't find any of my A-levels really difficult (French, Business, Law) but I wish I'd taken Maths or History at AS instead of Psych.

Not so much an A-level, but taking up Extended project is a f***ing flop. The all-nighters I've spend on this!

Economics. I like Economics but the A Levels were dull. Essay writig isn't my forte.

Physics , cos i hate the practicals always get crappy grades in them, I love the theory though and do well in it.

I took English Lit., RS, Biology, Latin and German to begin with. Dropped Latin pretty quickly as I was absolutely terrible and didn't understand any of the grammar, then dropped German as I didn't like it, and picked up Psychology. Eventually dropped Biology about half way into the year as I'm naturally not a scientist and no matter how hard I tried couldn't grasp any of what we did! Always knew I wanted to do English lit. at uni too so science was never a good choice for me, but having 3 AS' levels as opposed to 4 has been fine :smile:

Economics. :sigh:

I regret taking AS ICT.

Computing.
It was horrific.
Not difficult mind, just really awful teaching, a huge 150+ page project worth only about 35% of the grade and the most fickle marking I have ever seen.

I wish I'd done law or psychology not maths -- but not because I found it 'rigorously difficult', because I'd have found them both more interesting and did not need maths.

Or I should have worked harder to let my college let me take 5 AS levels rather than just 4. This was 'completely unnegotiable' and yet someone in the year below me was allowed to take 5. Glare.

Physics and Biology, because I don't need them to study Chemistry at uni - and they're harder than they need to be.
Wish I took maths which is useful and music instead..

Further Maths AS, took it as a 5th subject, thought it'd help with medicine applications... Turns out it doesn't :/ literally a complete waste of time
