Re: Easiest GCSE subject?
Well I would say maths but I did better by percent UMS in all 3 sciences (all 4 A*).
I'm definitely better at maths than physics though (in AS level +)
So, I'm not sure whether to say science because I did better or maths because it probably is easier.
With RE I did well on the exams that I remembered the content for and did badly on the one I didn't. -
Re: Easiest GCSE subject?
It completely depends on the person as loads of people have said but for me personally [I got 8 a stars and 5 as at GCSE] it was definitely ICT. A massive bunch of the course was easy peasy coursework then the exam I paid no attention in any class, didn't bother at ALL but managed to get 100% in the exam with just a couple hours of revision the day before.
not sure if I was lucky but that's how it worked out.English language was also really easy due to a load of waffle and a few quotes being considered a good exam essay technique... Though I think the standard of GCSEs is rubbish, I did mine in summer 2010 and the teachers and school go out of their way to keep the school's stats up. -
Re: Easiest GCSE subject?If you have an innate understanding of it you need to memorise half as much.(Original post by brightbulb)
Personally I think science; you don't need to understand it, you can just memorise facts then regurgitate them in the exam. -
Re: Easiest GCSE subject?True. But I have no intention to study a science past GCSE, so I'm quite happy just memorising and getting A's and B's.(Original post by AtomSmasher)
If you have an innate understanding of it you need to memorise half as much.
