Any A-levels you regret picking?

ahh that's a shame I really struggled with writing essays personally, so I had to basically keep attacking my teachers with piles of my practice essays each time I saw them they were nice enough to help me out all the time after school, they even had after school sessions to help us out without being annoyed about it at all which was really helpful - and I really liked ethics but I really didn't like philosophy some of the time; probably because I don't enjoy the religious side of things which were mostly included in that part of the course

Haha well you sound like a dedicated student, writing philosophy practice essays was such a chore for me. My subject was straight philosophy...I feel like I would have actually enjoyed the ethics part too, so that's a shame. Aw it seems like you had really good teachers

aha I was lucky because they were genuinely the nicest and the most effective teachers I've had - they weren't grumpy or boring or anything like that, apparently one of the students in the class saw one of them (as I have a teacher for philo and another for ethics) at a night club in town - and it's funny I should say that because apparently another person saw my chemistry teacher (as I was saying I really regretted chemistry) in another night club and she (the teacher) ordered them to leave because they were under-age, haha

How come?
Why did you pick it in the first place?

Spanish - My gosh. I was not prewarned that in order to get a good grade I would have to trade in my social life, success in other subjects and my soul.

Ah, "sad" teachers: the bane of my life. I was going to drop Product Design in favour of English Literature or Language, but I feared my teacher would be sad as I got an A* at GCSE and he'd reacted similarly to someone who dropped it in favour of RS. She also got an A* at GCSE.

My Sixth Form also sort of scared people out of dropping subjects in the first few weeks. The first two weeks were a "transition period," in which we were allowed to drop subjects in favour of others, but they said, "We really recommend that you don't, because you'll have missed out on a lot of work and will find it harder." Not the case at all - we barely learnt anything in the first few weeks, and in some subjects it was just completing basically irrelevant "transition work." Plus, my friend who dropped Product Design in favour of RS is now achieving the best grades in her class.


What do you need help with?

English Lang & lit combined - worst subject ever. So so boring due to the teachers not even being in lesson and not being bothered to even mark work we've done or give us feed back on our coursework!
Worst. Lesson. Ever.

Maths
I was always good at it at, and was expected a B at gcse. I also enjoyed it. Because i was good at it, my parents pushed me into taking it at -level.
Boy that was a mistake. I got U in the first unit (as did quite a few others). I (and the others who got u) got put moved to additional maths instead. But we where left to get on with it nd work through the text book at one end of the room, while the other half of the room got taught a-level maths. Then the exam was the hardest that the head of maths had ever seen. So i ended up with a U in that as well.

Fine ****ing Art. A complete waste of time when I could be working on my other subjects. I've always been told I'm talented at drawing and I absolutely love to do it, but as an A Level subject, it's made me resent what I love doing.

I don't struggle with the concepts so much as the application and understanding what the question asks. C2 is the one I do best in, though that's not saying much.
