You think psychology is an easy A-Level? Have you even taken psychology? You know it's up there in the top A-Levels with the lowest A*A percentage achievement on the statistics tables....

Those saying Philosophy and ethics is easy are wrong, take it from people who study those subjects.

Why not speak to those studying A levels to see what it is like etc.

Unfortunately,no A level is easy, they are all hard in different ways and a subject I could find easy would be difficult for you unless you mean in general terms.

The AS is doable, however the A2 is anything but easy, took up double the amount of time compared to Bio& Chem :s-smilie:

Same goes with psychology the AS is fairly straight forward memory of theories etc , memory of the content is doable however A2 is another story ..

Class civ isn't too hard if your college offers it, although resistitant materials takes a lot of commitment it isn't too taxing, anecdotally people say that philosophy and ethics is easy.

Philosphy and ethics is easy, I do it, it's a great way to get an A*!

Media Is a little too weak I'd say, even for a 4th.

Pretty sure Business Studies has like 3% A* rate... But it's one of the easiest by far

I would say something like Media, ICT, Travel and Tourism etc. either something with all coursework so no exams or something that only have 1/2 exams that are generally easy content wise

Unless you're autistic, Maths will not be an 'easy A level' that you can just get an A in with no effort

i mean, you've made the classic mistake here of assuming that there's an easy a-level out there :P

but seriously, IF (and only if) you are good at memorising things: psychology. this website called loopa has books with perfect essays in them - memorise the content and you'll get an easy A*. but like i said, that's only easy if you have a good memory, and the books don't tend to help out with homework etc

btec courses are probably your next best bet, a lower qualification but so long as you pick the right one you can ace it, and of course there's general studies or epq, although that's usually either compulsory or non-existent at schools or colleges.

if you're thinking of ucas points or CVs, don't forget there are other things you can do which ultimately equate to an a-level (dofe, music grades etc)

talk to year 12s and 13s if you're really stuck - they'll know both which a-levels are easiest AND which teachers are the best. hope it all works out for you
