A-Level you performed the worst in

Inspired by the GCSE thread.

Mine was Law, ironically enough considering I read Law at university now. Missed the grade I wanted by a single mark - didn't remark because I was generally elated enough on the day to have done as well as I did as I didn't expect it. In hindsight I wish I had but oh well :colondollar:

Sociology. Everyone says it's easy but it was my bane when I was doing A Levels. I still got an A in the end but it pure hell getting the grade.

Biology! I still can't seem to get anything right away and it takes x10 longer to learn anything as opposed to sociology or psychology. I guess i'm not that good at science based subjects to essay based ones.

Arguably physics, as I had a lower percentage overall than maths and I was further away from the next grade boundary than geography. And now I study physics at university.

English Lit. What a terrible bloody A-Level.

Should've opted for Philosophy, Physics, or FM. Anything but English Lit.

I completely agree. I'm in my final year of a levels now and English Lit is killing me. I was warned before taking it aswell, just decided not to listen :|

I liked the stuff we learnt about, but it would just never click well enough when it came to exams and I got an E overall

Goes to show how subjective the difficulty of A levels are; you would expect that people would say that maths and French harder than business, but it's not always the case.

I found English Lit great actually! Seemed the easiest out of mine, but I had a great teacher so it all came quite naturally. Couldn't fault her.

Agreed in my AS year and its fcking killing me , every lesson with my teacher seems a battle and when im let out the class I breathe a sigh of relief , Im probally going to do awful in the subject but dont really want to drop it A2 because its one of my few more preffered subjects.
