A-Levels you regretted taking.

IT at AS - it is the most mind numbing and most boring subject ever created. It's not particularly hard - at all - but nothing is worse than spending 3 hours creating leaflets that must contain a set number of features that do nothing to enhance it whatsoever.

Also having an IT teacher that will tell us we have to go at, quote, "Lightspeed", then spend the lesson dancing to Stereo Love saying it reminded her of her holidays.... :angry:

Although it was quite amusing watching her dance the length of the IT corridor :tongue:

Physics, its fascinating to read about it, was pretty easy for AS and I managed to get an A with little effort, but einsteins theory of special relativity is just way too much for me. What scares me is special relativity is supposed to 'easy' compared to general relativity. Its completely mind boggling that as something moves faster it gets heavier and its mass tends towards infinity!

Oh, no I thought you meant for Maths and Stats to be one whole A-level qualification, as oppose to just Maths, which obviously has 2 other supplementary modules :smile:

Regretting taking biology :/ but now that I think about there wasn't any other subject I would have wanted to take.

Looking forward to dropping it for A2 :awesome:

Politics

English Lit. I found it so, so boring and I only chose it because it was one of them subjects I was good at without trying very hard. I wish I'd have taken French instead.

I am not sure what you mean? :P The course gives you one a-level over two years. As in it is 'math with stats' not maths as one alevel and stats as another...

Religious Studies,not because it was difficult but because I don't like vague questions and stuff that asks me about current affairs and what not.I'm pretty clueless in that area.

For me it has to be either art due to the work load and the fact that my teachers only criticise me and I never have any positive feedback even though I'm working at an A.
Or spanish, because for me it is quite difficult, especially compared with GCSE!!!

Good grades at GCSE do not mean you're good at the subjects... :sigh:

Haha tbh I wish I hasn't picked most of my subjects :s-smilie:

. Media and Sociology aren't respected and not as good as I remembered them to be at GCSE, and some of the content for Psychology makes me want to die.
