It is actually been said that it is the most difficult subject to take!!! Although If you like it... it wont be!!! The worse subject I could do is Chemistry! But Physics is meant to be VERY VERY VERY difficult although it's the most interesting of all! :biggrin:

I think physics is the hardest, because of the maths (which I dislike). This is why I am not taking it to A-level.

Hmm... it's not easy but I found it didn't require a load of work :biggrin:. For Edexcel, I think it should be wider.

Biology is the easiest IMO, I did both Chem and Biol for A-level and they weren't particularly taxing (well Chemistry was slightly harder than Biology). I did Maths so couldn't be arsed taking physics as a 4th, geography looked like a much easier option!

I think Chemistry is easier than Physics in A-level
Depends what you find hard.

Physics and chem are both tougher than bio, but physics requires more maths and analytical skills, while chemistry needs you to be better in labs and that.

Overall, I'd argue that chemistry is more time consuming bt physics is intellectually more difficult.

I'm a Maths person, so I find Biology (only did up to GCSE) the most difficult Science.
Chemistry (also GCSE) was ok.
I found Physics (A level) challenging, but I was only really troubled by the wordy questions.
Biology is the easiest
Physics is defiently the hardest too many formule to learn & useless knowledge like the lifecycle of a star
It is rather the most interesting. In chemistry, u've to revise again and again to get good results. But physics depends much more on ur concept. I tell u, i am better student in chemistry but i found more interest in physics.

physics is th easiest, biology is long and requires too much cramming os u hve to learn all those scientific words for things and include them in your answers. Chemistry is just the worst ever. well for me it was. i didnt understand a thing, lol. had to drop it after the first year cos it was a waste of time for me. others enjoyed it but i enjoyed my physics lessons. well im going to be doing Aero engineering at uni now so more physics so yay

No, chemistry wins it for me, although biology, which of course isn't even a real science, is also pretty simple I'm told.

If you're v. mathematical, physics will probably be easiest.
If you're good at remember lots of facts, you'll probably find biology easier.
If you're somewhere inbetween, then chemistry.

Biology is a joke. Physics is hard but interesting.
I personally found it the easiest of my 4 A levels, its just plugging numbers into equations you're given! (Others A Levels being chem, bio and maths)

That sed lots of people seem to find it very hard tho!

For me, Chemistry is not the hardest of the sciences, IS IT THE HARDEST OF ALL SUBJECTS! and I'm having it this yearat uni!!! :frown:
I think that if you're good at physics, it's by far the easiest science because there's actually so little to learn! And more to work out / understand. Which, if you're a natual physicist, comes naturally.
Physics is fun, but one of the hardest A levels :smile:
