Doesn't mean Physics in general isn't fun, in fact the opposite, it's just that it's seemingly boring at a-level.

Some are genuinely enjoyable, some are good because the skills you learn are actually useful. I think the worst subjects are those that strike the unfortunate combination of being boring and also not very useful in terms of the skills they give you outside of an exam-orientated context.

is physics that bad
is it hard and what exam board
also what grades did u get in each for gcse and what are u getting now and what are ur plans for uni


Physics outside the as curriculum is actually quite interesting, but AQA takes all the dull stuff and sticks in their syllabus - the lessons bore me to death. I end up sleeping in most of them. Hence my lack of enthusiasm or the subject.

Got all a*s for gcses getting mainly As now (in year 12), looking to do maths at uni :biggrin:

is ocr better then?
1. English Literature
2. Geography
3. History
4. Maths
They're all great subjects so it's hard to rank but I find maths tedious compared to the other subjects as it's too objective and straightforward compared to the subjective nature of English Literature and the diversity of Geography and History.
Most: History.

Middle: Philosophy and Ethics.

Least: English Literature.

I have no idea about the other boards that teach physics but the OCR physics is notoriously hard and is known by many to be one of the hardest. I also do AQA chemistry and even though I find the ISAs harder the exam papers actually test you on things that are in the syllabus unlike OCR which are an abomination to take
