Most difficult A-Level subjects?

Well, that's *******s. I did M1 and M2 at AS and got 100 and 98 ums respectively.

Music is harder than Economics? Bruh u trippin

5 and a half, plus STEP.

yeh, at warwick hopefully.

you? what were your AS like?

I remember you helping me in the FP4 thread last year Impressive results, man

Nah lol, just up till M3. Going over M4/5 by myself just to prepare myself for STEP

You?

Good set of results! Hats off to you! 😆 Doing 5 A2's in a year is a real challenge, and STEP to top it up, and not mentioning UCAS, personal statement and interviews.

I read your post on Cambridge or Oxford a few days back. Your stats are really impressive I must say! 👍

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.

Music is much harder than economics

Aw thank you so much!!
Makes me feel better haha, I feel my SUMS is quite low compared to other applicants :|

Why is music hard? Is it same as music grades?

Okay. So there is the essay part where you have to memorise so many facts about different 'setworks' as in peices of music e.g. key, instruments, harmony etc, know how to analyse and add to the scores of them and write essays about them (the memory part). Then there is the theoretical side which is more mathematical where you have to understand and know how to read/apply/write your own musical score of a piece you compose as well as analysing different aspects of the harmony/tonality/structure of several genres e.g classical, romantic, blues, reggae. Finally there is the practical side which is pretty self-explanatory but pretty damn hard to score good marks in due to the strictness of which they mark your playing. Overall music is a subject that incorperates so many different subject areas; the english aspect with the essays, the mathematical aspect of the theory and the practical side (which is what most people believe the subject only consists of). It is without question one of the hardest A Levels you can do.

But if you take music grades in an instrument and theory at grade 8, does the A level course really teach you anything extra, or if you are at that level would it be really easy?
What grades are you?

Can you integrate this tho

$\displaystyle \int (1-4x)\sqrt{\frac{1}{x} - 1} dx$

What instrument do you play then? Is it true you have to have a grade 8 in at least one instrument or in singing in order to do Music at Uni?
