    For me, physics was a steep learning curve. I used to be rubbish at it then one day, something clicked in my head and i ended up with an A* in it at A-Level in the end. I definately thought it was harder than my other A Levels though (Chemistry, Biology and maths). Just keep trying and it is perfectly do-able

    Harder than Maths.
    A lot easier than Further Maths.
