    Why does no one ever include Philosophy and Ethics (and Ethics should be alone) in these?

    Unenlightened swine.

    Sorry hadn't thought of that but I think Photography is not as challenging subject hence don't think Uni's look at it strongly? Correct me if I'm wrong!

    I was joking, theres quite a few subjects missing. Perhaps putting them into groups would make the poll wider.

    Eg: Science subjects
    Maths subjects
    English subjects
    Art/media subjects
    Music/Drama subjects
    Humanities subjects
    Languages
    Other- please specify.

    Aaaah lol.. I think that would have been a better idea but then again I would liked to have seen some kind of distinction between Science subjects and Maths subjects, but that's a good idea.

    If sociology is one of the options then surely psychology should be on there as well.

    Don't worry it's only the opinion of some people. I have myself picked Maths, FM, Physics and Chemistry.

    As long as you believe you will be able to cope up with the subjects and attain high grades - it's fine.

    And remember it's better if you take harder subjects as Unis see that you have tried to challenge yourself. They don't want a person who hasn't stretched themselves because uni work is obviously challenging.

    I'd pick Geology if it was there but picked Biology as it's not far off being my hardest

    I found history the hardest at AS followed closely by chem maths and bio.

    Biology is not hard its just BS(aqa).

    Psychology is 5x harder than Sociology on the basis of how much more revision was needed
