At my college mainly Psychology lmao, but a lot of people also do English Literature (we have about 15 English teachers- it's actually insane)


yeah we have a few classes in both of those
Probably maths?

Biology used to be a pretty big class, but about half dropped out in the first month!


My physics class has 4 students,
Biology: 7
Chemistry: 8
Maths: 9

Perks of private school xD

Seems so! almost comment in this thread says mathematics as answer. I personally liked biology most of all.
sociology - tbh i think it’s the easiest a level compared to the other subjects
Sociology.
At least that was the case for the sixth form I went to. All classes were full and there were tons of people on a waiting list hoping for someone to drop out.
In my school Maths and Physics seem to be the most popular.

Biology and Chemistry follow very closely behind though

Thats cool, were the classes much bigger at GCSE?
My sixth form isn't private although my Biology class has 12 students, chemistry and sociology have 10.

I don't think they realised how hard it would be! A lot of people started with 4 and that happened to be the one they enjoyed the least

Well I only started the private school in sixthform after completing my GCSEs in an ordinary comprehensive, although from what I have seen; walking along the corridors andpast class rooms; class sizes for GCSEs are larger around 15-20

Bit different to the 35 in some of my GCSE classes! Do you prefer private to comprehensive?

What subject do you reckon is the most popular at A level?


Hey, don't you think it would be nice, if you add a poll to this thread? I would love to know how many people are voting for mathematics. :biggrin:
