If you're going to go do your A levels you need a better attitude! The majority of A Levels are hard work, it pays off in the end though. You should be trying your best! English Literature, Chemistry and History are particularly hard I believe. -
Re: What are the Easiest and least respected A levels?I didn't type the list, I found it on one of the top university websites.(Original post by cyfer)
Economics=/business studies.
Business studies is what retards do because they can't do economics

And by the way, has Tahopper put science on that list, like not applied science, but just science?
Sciences are not soft subjects... -
Re: What are the Easiest and least respected A levels?That's all I needed to read;(Original post by Ferrari_1996)
Not at A-Level, and I'm assuming it's a load of bull**** irrelevant to Computer Science, unlike Computing.
you're wrong, by the way. -
Re: What are the Easiest and least respected A levels?
No offence to any Art students out there. But Art at A level is likely one of those courses where you put in so much time and effort and stress and what not, and get least in return apart from beautiful looking pages and products. I do it for GCSE and I have to live and breathe the subject because it takes up my life, though I find it enjoyable and vaguely calming since I can paint and listen to music. Though so much time is consumed, and all you really get from other students, - Mainly my friends who want to do three sciences for A level and Additional maths, is a backlash of critism with comments like ''lol, what are you actually gonna do with your life?!'' and it gets a bit irritating. At A level, you're forever in the Art rooms doing coursework that absorbs every moment, what you get in return is a lot of skeptics saying it's a stupid, 'easy' A level when it's not. Also, a life based around art is sadly unpractical with low stability/income/rates of employment. *sigh*

Re: What are the Easiest and least respected A levels?
I did double Art GCSE, and am now doing Art A level.
Double Art was far from calming, far from listening to a bit of music and painting, nearly had a breakdown!
As for Art A level, I'd say it was equally stressful compared with double art GCSE. I get really annoyed whenever art is called a doss subject, because it's so much more than painting a pretty picture, you have to think about everything in so much detail, use initiative, research, integrate your other subjects, and juggling it with other A levels is a task in itself.
I also do English literature and I'd say art requires a lot more intelligence/thinking but that might just be me...
As for least respected I'd say General Studies, we're forced to do it at our school and very few universities seem to accept it. -
Re: What are the Easiest and least respected A levels?
this is a really difficult thing to judge!
yes art may be easy, but i can't draw and don't have an artistic bone in my body, so for me - Art would be the most challenging A-level i could possibly take!
and then something like Chemistry - which i find much easier, is considered as a 'hard' A-level, which yes it is challenging but for me i find it relatively understandable!
it's down to personal choice, preference and personality and interests.
the only thing i will say is -
General Studies - that is the most disrespected A-level as the vast majority now do not even include in tarif points

Re: What are the Easiest and least respected A levels?
Probably Film Studies is one of the least regarded, the people at my college who do it just watch films in class all the time. Media isn't necessarily hugely regarded, I do it, but I want to do Marketing at uni so Media can be applicable to the course. If you tailor your A-levels to what you go into then you should be fine for getting offers from Uni.

Because they end in ology. -
Re: What are the Easiest and least respected A levels?I found A level Archaeology a lot harder than I am finding A level history is now, but maybe that is because I did Archaeology in year 10 so wasn't intellectually mature, but still the point still stands.(Original post by ChampEon)
They would be respected at degree level (obviously) but the best univeristies actually blacklist them at A-level because they're not considered to involve much analysis or independent thinking. A-level Law, for example, seems to mainly consist of memorising case after case from what I've heard from friends. A potential lawyer would be expected to study something like A-level History because it is considered a more 'solid' subject.
