Hey! As far as A-Levels go, there isn't really an 'easy' A Level. I mean, it is Harris, after all. It's really hard to drop an A Level unless you're being predicted a low grade in it.

However, if you want something that you can focus less on, I would recommend that you take a subject that you have a passing interest in. I would advise against any of these, however;

- Art
- Biology
- Drama
- Music
- Philosophy*
- English Literature*

... as these subjects are quite content heavy and work intensive; especially the ones marked (*), as they are Pre-U subjects.


Right, I had heard that Harris uses the hardest exam boards for each subject, by ‘easy’ I guess I meant easy compared to other A-levels.

What about economics? I’ve thought about that one and I think it would seem interesting, as well as psychology, though subjects which involve a lot of essay writing I’d usually like to avoid and I’m not sure what they’re like...

Harris does psychology? I didn't see that on the website...

Economics isn't too bad if you can do the maths. I wanted to do it but switched to Philosophy after I found out you needed a 7 in Maths to do it.

To be honest I hadn’t checked, haha, it was a passing thought. I’ll consider economics then

Hi there :smile:

How are you feeling about your final score?


I'm feeling ok with it, I thankful that I got in because others have applied and were not successful.

That's amazing! Hopefully you gain the grades to get in!
Yeah my predicted grades are mainly 7s anyway and my best subjects are maths and the sciences so fingers crossed
Just checked that course guide thing. It says they do OCR A for Maths and Further maths for 2018-2020.
No coursework :biggrin:
Seems that everyone has sleeping in common... that's a great plus :biggrin:

You know in those videos you shared yesterday?
One of the pieces of advice they gave was to suck up to teachers.
How do you think that's going to go down for you?😁😂
