    Spanish.

    Then I took it at A level and became suicidal. I really underestimated the difference a language would be at A level compared to GCSE.

    I actually like all of my GCSE subjects, apart from English Lit and Lang which I both hate with a passion! Geography can get quite tedious too, but it's not that bad. Luckily, I've only got about 25 more hours of English left and then I'm rid of it for life

    English. Looking back I wish I'd taken it instead of Maths at A level, but that's the beauty of hindsight.

    I make do with spending my spare time reading the books my English-taking friends whinged about and wondering why they thought they were so bad.

    History was amazing at GCSE. It's still pretty good at A-level.
    Drama was fun, too. We had an evil, patronising teacher who I hated with great passion. But it was drama, so I had license to **** about and not listen to her.

    Totally agree - Spanish A level made me want to die! Dropped it after AS thankfully.

    My favourite GCSEs were History, Child Development (incredibly interesting, and easy, and a MUCH better choice for me than Drama would have been) and Chemistry - I still love Chemistry (and History).

    English literature, but then at A level I had an awful teacher so History/Biology quickly became my favourites
