Re: Are GCSE's easy
Not really. I think A Levels are easier, but I'm only doing AS - A2 could be much harder, idk yet.
In AS you have less subjects and more time to focus on those subjects. It's totally up to you whether you wanna put that time to good use and get the grades that you deserve. With GCSEs, what I found hard was the fact that there were so many of them to do in such little time. I was a slacker (got something like 2/3 A's, 8 B's, 3 C's and a D) and I absolutely did not put my time to good use. I could've reached my full potential but I just wasn't interested at the time. I regret it.
What it really depends on is your mentality - do you want to go far? Do you want to reach your full potential? Or do you just wanna sit around doing "okay"? Until recently I was fine with okay, but not anymore - there are so many opportunities in the world, how can you not want to better yourself and get further than you could possibly imagine?
Basically, what I'm trying to say is they're as easy as you make them.
I went into my AS thinking "this is exactly like GCSEs" so I'm finding the work load piss easy. (I highly doubt my grades will reflect this because I'm horrible with exams!) The subjects I'm doing are: English Lit (OCR), RS (AQA) and Psychology (AQA)
