    Depends on what you find easiest. There's no overall answer.

    I think, if you bother to memorise the case studys, Geography is very easy. If you already speak good French, then you'd find French easiest etc.

    Yeah me too.. especially because the exam papers had little pictures on every other page, from which it was quite easy to determine the answer to the questions.

    I agree that GCSE Maths is infinitely easier than A-level Maths.. but do you really think it was the easiest GCSE? Or just easiest when compared to the A-level equivalent?

    I agree, it depends on the individual, but for me, i found maths really easy as it's just numbers and testing your logic skills.
    I would also say RS too as it's literally--->look at specification--->memorise facts and teachings--->read the exam question--->sort out which facts are for whih question--->write out the answer--->finished.XD A game of memorisign and little bit of common sense.

    This was WJEC 2002, so maybe things have changed since then.

    Ooof! Screw the myth that GCSEs are getting easier - if this is anything to go by, perhaps they're getting harder?! :eek:

    Yeah, I guess so. :p: Haven't you noticed that every year people come out of the woodwork on results day and undermine everyone's hard work by saying "exams are getting easier"? Well.. if my R.E. GCSE had pictures and yours didn't, perhaps they're actually getting harder.
