Hardest GCSE Subject?

Art, especially when your teacher didn't give any instructions. The work was time-consuming and tedious. I got a D in GCSE. 
Oh, and the teacher had a go at me because the whole of my English class had to take time off timetable to do some coursework (previous year's teacher screwed it up and we were running out of time). Her argument? "This subject is just as important as English, maths and science." She then grudgingly let me go when my friends from another Art class (but in the same English class) came to my rescue.

It doesn't happen very frequently at my new school, but it was really common at my old one. Funny enough, all of the other teachers were more than happy to let us go, but it was only this teacher that ever had a problem with us if one of us presented her with a note from another teacher saying that we had to go, even during the times when the headteacher wanted to interview us all on an individual basis.

I don't know why but I find it funny that art is difficult... but I guess everyone has difficulties in something.
Mine would be........English lit. (Just doesn't suit me).
In my case, I find it boring rather than difficult hence the mentality that builds a wall immediately not willing to learn or little effort.

I found English really easy at GCSE, if somewhat boring. But it's the kind of subject that you either have to work really hard for or just be good at writing essays. i found it quite boring but we had a great teacher who worked miracles with us - I don't think anyone got less than a B, even the people who got Cs or less in all their other subjects!
I've got to say from that list I'd say Art was the 'hardest'. The work was easy but it was the sheer volume and time consuming work they expected that made it hard. I got away with doing it all at the last moment but it is a bit stressful when all your other teachers are wondering why you've not done their homework because you've been preparing for your 10 hour exam...
Not on the list was Greek. I did classical greek at GCSE (laugh away!) and I think that was the hardest GCSE because there was a ton of set text to learn, with all the translation, and then loads of vocab... we had a good teacher but i think i got a bit lucky with that one!

I think maths is reali hard
I think for me personally, english is harder. For maths I don't even need to use my brain that much. LOL
Languages, or History for me :/ Art wasnt hard, it was just a waste of time.

English Lit/Lang should be seperate.
English language- fairly easy
Literature- Hardest GCSE in my opinion.

100% for English Literature.....
Maths! I'm on a D at the moment, but retaking modules...
However, with English, History? I'm fine. Getting a mixture of A*'s A's and B's in most written subjects, never been able to do numbers aha
