Does Anyone Know What The Hardest A Level Is? Like In Rank Of Top 10 Or Something?

[iceman_jondoe]

well you may have heard recently student have been told to ditch "soft option" alevels such as ICT, drama, gov and politics, media studies (btw i may be wrong here with this brief list). All alevels have a relative degree of ifficulty but i would say the "harder" ones are F maths, maths and the sciences

^o) Politics is not a soft option.

[varun_23]

i would say physics and then chemistry and stuff like maths,further maths would be around there as well

Cambridge recommend you take a combination of:
Physics
Chemistry
Maths
English Literature
History
A modern language

I wonder why Biology isn't on there?

What about Economics is it considered by Unis a "harder" option out of Bussiness Studies,eh?

[Morgan141]

It depends on the person really and whether you are better at the arts or the sciences. From what I've heard though I'd say of the sciences it would have to be f.maths and of the arts probably History/English lit.

[belle_27]

Economics is considered a better A level than Business Studies but if you applied for an Economics degree then usually they'd ask for maths A level rather than economics. Though I think it depends on whether you apply for the BA or BSc for whether they want maths A level or not.

My teacher says the hardest subjects are chemistry and Latin.

They're the two I find hardest, so I'd agree from my experience so far.

Deciding what the hardest A level is is subjective

[The Strangest Quark]

Further maths is certainly the hardest subject by a long way.

Also hardcore are maths, physics, chemistry, history, english literature, foreign languages.

Biology to a lesser extent (less difficult concepts).

That's not all obviously, just examples off the top of my head.

[Xrypto]

So in all it is dependent on who you speak to about which A Levels are the hardest isn't? Oh why can't be a an offical table?

Because the official line is that they're all the same in difficulty. An obvious lie.

thank you kirst!

[Ghetto_Princess12]

There isn't a specific list for the hardest A-level but generally speaking all a-level subjects are tough and the end result always depends on the effort and hard work students put in.

exactly, eg drama is seen as a soft option. But unless you can act and know some good dramatical terms, can write for an hour on the acting conditions in 16th and 17th century theatre and understand what i mean when i say "the first A2 piece we are doing incorporates techniques taken from Brecht, Artaud and Stanislavski focused arounds Esslins theories of absurdism "
and more that i cant be bothered to write its gonna be a pretty rough ride for you lol!

[Jason_K]

To be honest, the general view, of the hardest A level, is Physics, or so I have been told.

[threepiecesuit]

Personally, I found Edexcel History to be an ABSOLUTE BITCH to do, whereas I just swanned through English Literature and Politics on natural ability. I only got 512/600 (pending remark of suspiciously low unit) on that, as opposed to 550 for Eng Lit and 556 for Politics.
