If you find GCSE really easy, then AS is really easy (for me anyway). You do need to know quite a bit of vocab, but that only comes through actually using the language.
You do actually need to be able to converse in German with relative fluency for the high marks, as opposed to simply remembering things (like so many of my peers did at GCSE) but it's not too hard as long as you find language learning a natural process.
