I think my hardest A2 exam was probably my Unit 3 AQA Geography exam because I had to answer 2 sets of 7, 8 and 10 mark questions followed by a 40 mark essay in 2 and a half hours. The essay title was also really difficult. So similar reasons to the history exams really! Felt like my arm was going to fall off!
Totally agree! The geography exam was like running a marathon in two send a half hours. The ecosystems question was quite nice, yet trying to structure a coherent essay in such a ship of amount of time was tough. History as well! I was actually quite I'll after my history exam.......!!
Edexcel Chemistry Unit 4 (2014). No where near enough time, strangely worded questions and over half the paper being AS stuff which I completely forgot!
Mine was psychology there is so much to remember. Closely followed by history which requires constant revision everyday from the start of term to fit it all in there!
C3 edexcel june 2013 First 2 questions were fine, **** my load with the rest of the paper.
Fp1 june 2014 was a bitch too.
What did you find the hardest topic in C3? I'm going through it now. It's definitely harder than C1 and C2, but I am pleased with my progress.
I think the trig identities is the hardest, far harder than solving trig equations. Differentiating using the quotient rule gets to me too. It's not the differentiation, it is the amount of steps involved in it making it so easy to slip up on a basic calculation,

In C3?
Probably that rcosalpha topic, its much easier compared to C4
English Lit. 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. The fact that we had books for the new specification limited out revision sources. And to top it all off, the comparison section had total bull**** questions
Chemistry was the hardest, but I enjoyed it so it didn't bother me as such. Bio was fine, but so Borrrrringgggggg it was a struggle to revise! Politics was just so much to learn, twas the most stressful!

I was so stressed when I came out of the exam! Yeah, I think the ecosystems questions were okay, although very vague so perhaps I have wrote the completely wrong thing haha! Which essay did you do?
Out of all three I did, mine was History - it was 90 minutes and I felt as though I had to structure my answers so neatly and regurgitate so much detail in such a tight time frame
What was your hardest A-level exam (A2 or AS)?
Hey!
I read that you took History, what exam board have you done? I just would like a little information about this subject!
I personally think that C4 was really difficult, my A* is deffo gone! The 9 marker volume question really caught me out, even though it was sooo easy... But can't complain cause I smashed C3!
The last Chemistry A OCR Module.. Now I look back on it I'm not sure if it's as bad as I imagined or I'm just overthinking and panicking before results. I don't know what it is but the closer to results day that we get the worse I think I've done! Either way, chemistry was brutal hahaha
