Re: Rank Your GCSES in order of EnjoyabilityAlthough I do really dislike the subject(Original post by cyfer)
You seem to have overdone it by a wide margin for geography.
Anyway, Congrats on the result

Re: Rank Your GCSES in order of Enjoyability
I did mine last year but my order is pretty simple
1.Maths(no work)
2.Physics(no work)
3.Geography (cracking teacher and no work)
4.English (cracking teacher)
5.Chemistry (No work)
6.French(No work)
7.History(Interesting but i had the dullest teacher on earth)
8.Biology(Had to work)
9.ICT (No work but it was the biggest waste of two years)
Btw i got 5A*s and 4 As so the no work ones are up there because i didn't fail them :P -
Re: Rank Your GCSES in order of Enjoyability
In order:
1) Graphics - easy, my teacher let us have a party every week (no kidding - he'd bring in food and we'd bring in the music), we got to mess around, etc.
2) English Language and Literature - no work, messed around, etc.
3) Art - a lot of work but I loved the subject. Plus, the trip abroad was amazing.
4) French - messed around, and I love French.
5) R.S - again, messed around. Our teacher suddenly became really friendly to us in Year 11, so that was nice, too.
6) Geography - fun at first but became increasingly boring with every module. Our year was the first to have Controlled Assessment instead of the usual coursework, and that was absolutely horrific.
7) Biology/Chemistry/Physics - I hated my class and the subject, but my teacher was hardly ever there, so...
8) Maths - Boo hiss boo.
So I've laid it out in a slightly different way to the OP, but you get the general idea

Re: Rank Your GCSES in order of Enjoyability
Most enjoyable



1. Maths
2. Chemistry-too good to be true-that's why at A-level chemistry you're told GCSE chemistry is a lie
)
3. Business (Physics + Business hard to chose from)
4. Physics (Physics + Business hard to chose from)
5. Biology
6. DiDA (boring annotations and same old office work makes you die)
7. Media Studies (absolutely bad teacher
,making me fail for english as well as for media)
8. English lang +lit(same **** teacher as for Media
)
9. RE (too boring for me)
By the way, I do double science, not triple. But making chem be equal to bio and physics would be totally wrong as it's better. -
Re: Rank Your GCSES in order of Enjoyability
Can't be bothered to rate them all out of 5 individually, that would require more brain efforts than I can be bothered to use. Instead, I will blindly place them in order from Most Enjoyable to Least Enjoyable

1. Chemistry
2. Biology
3. Physics
4. Maths
5. History
6. French
7. Geography
8. English Literature
9. English Language
Interestingly, I get much better marks in English Language than I do Lit, but that's because I'm apparently better at the art of BS than I am at critically analysing Shakespearean texts

Re: Rank Your GCSES in order of EnjoyabilityI never knew you could study Photography for GCSE?What on Earth do you in the course?-It sounds such a strange subject.(Original post by Memphis93)
My favourite subjects are Maths and Science and least favourite Photography and English Language. -
Re: Rank Your GCSES in order of EnjoyabilityIt indeed is a strange subject and possibly the biggest mistake I've made in my life. You practically come to lessons, take pictures, cut them out and stick them in your sketchbook and you are also required to make really concise annotations I wasn't quite capable of. I managed a C in the end thankfully, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have made that grade If I hadn't stayed up 7 nights in the row doing coursework. Too much effort and there were people in my class who were completely devoted to the subject and still came out with ridiculously low grades.(Original post by Dalek1099)
