lol i'm doing that topic right now, same exam board. It's not that bad i don't think as long as you do extra work to get your head round it...
Unless you have a rubbish teacher ofc...

Definitely wouldn't say it's harder than C3, C4 or S2.

Yeah that's one factor, my teacher can barely speak English. But even then, C3/4 I do one question the understand it. PHYA4>FP2 for me :lol:

The concepts are a lot more harder to grasp I would say. But then again, I've been quite busy with uni applications, so maybe just a little more hard work will solve all the problems hopefully! :biggrin:

Yeah, I found the concepts a bit counter-intuitive intially too. But once you read the information twice or thrise, the idea suddenly clicks in your mind. I personally found Chem to be relatively easy.

Normal maths harder than physics?! Bruhh. Normal maths is a walk in the park, physics is even harder than further maths.

I agree, lol 😂

Got to be English Literature, especially with the new reforms too. I adore coursework and to hear that its only in the second year is annoying because averagely I achieve Cs in exams and A/Bs in coursework. Memorising is one thing you need to be good at, especially for Humanities based subjects. I dread when I do my AS exams as its closed text book exams so I literally have to read a book several times to remember it all. Not to mention questions are horribly worded out and they never follow a similar structure and I suck at poetry analysis.

For the subjects that I did (hardest to easiest) in AS:

Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Geography

For the subjects I do in A2:

Chemistry, Biology, Geography

I did/do the same subjects as you! And I agree!

Why maths is so far down on this graph, behind computing, music and Gen.studies (phased out in my college due to pointlessness) baffles me,

However, I can't choose which is harder out of chemistry or biology. Biology has a lot of words and terminology to remember, but chemistry needs a lot of practice with questions, a lot of problem solving rather than recall (biology).

Geography was easy last year, but I don't know which exam board you do but with Edexcel, unit 4 we have to do one 70 MARK question in 1h30 on tectonics... not like last year.
