I'm not studying any STEM/core subjects at AS but here are mine ranked easy to hard:

I.C.T (WJEC).
Business Studies (WJEC).
History (WJEC).

Even though Business Studies (in my case, don't know about other boards) is all exam-based, History at the moment is more difficult because of the difference is exam technique.
easiest to hardest:

econ, maths/further maths, biology, chemistry

Finshed EPQ and didn’t like chemistry so I stopped it, so its actually pretty easy at the moment. Year 12 was hard work though, I don’t recommend doing 6.

Geography

(Easiest)

(Evidently, essay subjects aren't my strong point)
Latin
Chemistry
Physics
Maths (accelerated though as technically I'm doing FM next year)

Ratings above go from 'help me pls' (Latin) to 'it makes me disappointed and I facepalm every time someone says 'I don't get it' in class' (maths) *edit* our further maths class is way too big for a FM class, inevitably some questionable people snuck in somewhere
Latin makes me cry bc I transferred to it late (indecision problems) and I don't know anything, I feel like I need to have a good look at my endings, word meanings and grammar over the half term... I swear I feel so dumb every lesson? And translations take me as long as my English essays used to...
