I take maths, chem, bio and took physics AS so I'll talk about them.

Easiest:
Chem
Maths
Bio
Phys

Like the most:
Maths
Phys
Bio

I did two separate lists as you can tell they dont correlate...

It's subjective from person to person though and depending on the teacher and exam board

This won't work at all.

No matter how much STEM enthusiasts trash talk essay based subjects and essay enthusiasts think maths makes their heads hurt, they probably went with the choices best for them.

Anyway,

Mathematics
Physics
Economics
(Chemistry AS)
(Further maths AS)

Hi. I have to choose between psychology and rs. I did psychology at GCSE and it was ok. I’m bad at essay subjects but I heard rs is easy. What do you think I should do?

Hello, this is a 3 year old threat unfortunately. It is very unlikely that they are still active being that they were last seen active in 2019.

Theyre both very heavily essay based but RS is more essay based than psychology. Neither are easy and which you find easier is often personal, based on your strengths and weaknesses. I couldn't say which one I think you should pick, you know your strengths and interests better than anyone else!
