    I voted for maths as the hardest GCSE I took, but if I'd had to take something really creative like art or music, I'd have found that harder because I have no talent whatsoever for subjects like that!

    Yes, but being rare doesn't necessarily make it hard. It might be, but it might not.

    I didn't say it was hard. Read the 2nd post and you will see who said it was hard. I just said that we didn't have it at our school.
