I don't like any IGCSEs but here you go

Additional Math (Even though it is annoying because learning theorems make all problems easy)
Chemistry (It is alright even though there is some ambiguity at times)
Computer Science (I love this topic but IGCSE made it boring. The question paper doesn't even test for the skills which are taught.)
Physics (love this one too but again IGCSE made it...)
Biology (too much theory and no clear focus. There are so many damn question about descriptive writing in the exam. Also, doing geography saved me during the exams. Almost half of the paper was concerned with the last chapter.)
Geography (too much ambiguity)
English FL (It's alright. I am somewhat bad at it but I just don't like it. I love reading though.)

favourite to least favourite
Ethics and philosophy - love the content and most of it is common sense except for the religious side
Geography- fun, i preferred human geography though but physical had some interesting aspects
English Literature- I did romeo and juliet ( but i did not do any exams on poems as i didnt actually sit gcses which is good since poems are so boring, the assessments i did were on romeo and juliet)
English Language - paper 2 > paper 1
Food tech- easy, loved the practicals but sometimes its scary lol
Maths- if i knew what i was doing it was fun but if i didn't it was a drag
Chemistry- I dont know why its here tbh it was just what i did best in.. in my sciences
Physics- okay
Biology - way too much content , gosh
spanish- liked it in yr 9 but my teacher made me hate it, its not too hard tho but all the different verbs confused me
