Anthropology, sociology, drama and theatre studies.

Anthropology is extremely hard, especially as there's no textbook. Only about 200 people take anthropology A level every year.

Why do you feel that? Because you do it? :lol:

Law is 100% remembering. You don't have to think once.

I guess but there's just so much to learn! All those concepts, Acts and case studies.
I did it at A level and it was the thing I revised the most. All the other subjects I kinda just winged but this one I had to really try for.
Nobody in my A2 left with an A*-A - it was the worst set of exam results in the whole sixth form.

You're saying Computing, Music, German, French, sciences and general studies are all harder than Maths??????

Hahahahahha

Maths is arguably the hardest A-level out there. The amount of practice you have to do, let alone the difficult questions that come up in the exam!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously? There are 2 other maths A-levels that are unarguably harder than straight maths and also statistics which most will find harder than straight maths. And that's just maths A-levels. Depending on how you think, at least one of chemistry and biology is likely to be harder, possibly physics too.

chemistry(hardest)
biology
AFM(only took to AS)
physics
further maths

I've heard that the coursework is pretty intense in Music, and then you have the performance aspect as well. Can't really compare it with Economics though as I don't know anything about it.

I do music A2 and want to study it at uni and the coursework at A-level is really difficult. There's essay writing, performing, composing, analysing- the list goes on! Everything is so different and difficult in its own way. Definitely not a cop out!

Economics is also difficult and its not what I thought it would be. There are the same amount of essays compared music (but not compared to history or english for example). I prefer music because theres more of a range of areas to study which makes it harder, though with economics theres the combination of maths and essay skills which is also difficult.

i'm doing C1,C2,C3,C4,S1,S2 in one year to get a whole AL in Maths since I want to do Computer Science at university. My college doesn't let people do mechanics in the first year of further maths because it's apparently quite difficult.

I'm a essay type of guy so I liked History and English but it's a lot of work. Depends how your mind works, for some Maths would probably be easy but I needed tutoring at GCSE Level, lol.
