    Spanish, absolute nightmare to understand for me. Didn't help that our teacher was 'ill' (definitely not holidaying in France) for almost the entire 2 years.

    None of my GCSEs were actually hard, I just couldn't be bothered with school back then, hence the massive difference in my GCSE and A-Level grades.

    Am I only the only one who loves astronomy?


    But I'd have to say systems and control. we done a mock gcse and it was HARD oh and the coursework is pretty hard too as well.
    i love astonomy, although i have never studied it, i find it really fascinating i should hopefully get to do it in A2 physics if i carry on

    It takes time away from all ur other subjects if u dont have good time management

    English Literature (boring)

    Out of what I took, probably Graphics, it's so time consuming and the exam was way to long for the amount of time given

    IT bored the living dayights out of me.

    If I'm honest with you though, no GCSE is hard. A lot of them are time consuming and stupid as hell, but none are difficult.

    I've been learning French since Year 7 and my most complicated sentence is a hell of a lot more complicated than that! I've also been learning Russian since Year 8, and the grammar is ridiculously complicated. :rolleyes:
    Exactly. So my point was that learning a language like Japanese or Cantonese isn't that hard. I do French too, I know how much more difficult the grammar is.
