Just my luck to have maths as my worst subject, and be in the unfortunate year who had to sit the most devastating higher paper ever. -

Re: Rank your subjects in order of difficultyI'm doing the same as you after Summer, but chemistry instead of history. I must admit I'm looking forward to some of it (mainly maths and physics). English will be a pain in the arse though.(Original post by kaneboy)
Wow. Next Year I'm doing : English, Maths, Physics, Biology, History. Answer truthfully, how screwed am I ? :')
Surely you don't mind a challenge, though?

Re: Rank your subjects in order of difficultyI seriously respect those of you taking maths and the sciences - especially those of you still in school. I'm 20 now (I did 5th year, took a gap year, then two years of FE college) and I'm still doing crap at Higher. I need to put in a ton of effort just to get a minimum pass (yeah, I'm not smart, and I won't pretend to be). I hope you all do well in the exams. I, err, "got up to no good" with a guy who wants to make it medicine and I was so impressed with his math & science capabilities. I hope you all do well in the exams. <3

Re: Rank your subjects in order of difficultyAh okay that's worked out great for you then! Who says you need Higher English and Maths anyway! People act like it's the end of the world when you don't get them it's so annoying(Original post by badumdumtscht)
^5!
Nope, did a HNC instead cos I passed my sciency Highers and now I'm at uni! I'd never force myself through Higher English again. lol
But that's my plan too, I have a unconditional for a HNC at college, do that then the HND then uni, good luck with your uni course!! -

Don't listen to them. Focus on your own path and work hard - I had people telling me I'd never get anywhere, that I was stupid and all that. Show them that it isn't the end of the world.
Oh, good! HNC/Ds are excellent preparation for uni courses. They are difficult, but if you work hard then you will go far with them. I think my HNC prepared me for uni more than any Higher/AH ever could.

Re: Rank your subjects in order of difficultyHow good are you at remembering things? If your good Biology and (I imagine) History should be a cakewalk(Original post by kaneboy)
Wow. Next Year I'm doing : English, Maths, Physics, Biology, History. Answer truthfully, how screwed am I ? :') Maths is fine aslong as you keep up with the work and I'm doing Higher English ( ) and Physics ( ) next year.
3 Sciences? I'm doing 3 next year :3 I thought Chemistry was hard for a good portion of the year, but then it's eased of to be my easiest subject. Enjoy(Original post by AtomSmasher)

Re: Rank your subjects in order of difficultyThanks for all the advice, that's exactly what I plan to do! Fingers crossed it'll all work out in the end!!(Original post by badumdumtscht)
It will work out for you too!

Re: Rank your subjects in order of difficultyYou mean SG chemistry? Kind of the same with me... I didn't really pay much attention until early-mid 4th year, then it was quite easy. 3 sciences shouldn't be that bad, although iology can be a pain. It's a pity we don't get further maths like the A-levelers. I would happily choose that over English. Glad to see that someone shares my opinions about English ((Original post by TheFOMaster)

Re: Rank your subjects in order of difficultyNo I mean Higher :P It's definitely the biggest jump for the Highers I took (Biology, Chem,Comp and Maths)(Original post by AtomSmasher)

I need English next year (Want Teaching as a potential career)
I'm doing AH Chem and Bio next year with H Physics so if you have problems doing 3 sciences, remember mines will be worse
