not very hard because I could do it and I'm a bit dim
Really basic for A-level Chemistry. If you got an A in gcse maths then I wouldn't worry about it. Physics is a bit harder but still mostly gcse maths level.
The actual maths involved isn't anything special, lots of formula that you just need to know how/when to use. The hard part is knowing what you actually have to do (some questions are worded very strangely), other than that you just put numbers in the calculator.
Would it be possible without doing maths as an A level?
I would question why you would be doing physics without maths in the first place but in terms of mathematical difficulty have a look at past papers for the exam board that you would be taking. I would assume there would be some variation in difficulty of the maths. I did ocr physics b and the maths seemed to be gcse level from what I remember.

Yeahh this is so true , its not the maths thats hard , its the wording of the question which is hardd:/
