Hardest A Levels

Announcements
I’m interest to know which A levels people considered to be the hardest to pass. I find it hard to believe that subjects like media are equivalent to Chemistry. I study History, Lit and English Language and I definitely think language is so much easier than history. Does anyone have opinions about how hard it is to pass history? I really worry that it’s a hard one to do well in.

It's all dependent, isn't it, on what you're good at? I'd personally consider Physics or Chemistry to be the hardest 'A' levels based on people I know who do them and the work I've seen them do - I did well in both at GCSE but wasn't interested in pursuing science. But someone who loves Science may well find English harder if they're not that way inclined, lol.
Out of my own subjects, Spanish is probably the hardest. Overall, Chem and Physics, Maths and Further Maths, and History on the humanities side because it's so content heavy.

Philosophy is by far the hardest I do, and I think has been officially recognised as one of the hardest A-Levels. Others that crop up frequently are Spanish/French, Further Maths, Chemistry and Music.

I’m doing Churchill 1920-1945 then Britain 1945-1992, American Rev and Civil Rights 1865-1992 😬 it’s so hard! About 10 times more content than Literature. Oh and my coursework is on Thatcher

. My coursework was on the french revolution, pretty sure I got a D.

Economics A-Level: Knowing the key concepts/theories isn't enough. You need real-life application for some question and some of the micro/macro and synoptic questions on the Edexcel spec are really nasty.

Do you happen to know the structures for the source questions? We haven't been given them and I'm dying without them

I would say Modern Foreign Languages.
First issue is that all the natives are taking all the A*s and As. Second issue, you can't just cram it. You need to actually be good at it, it's a skill that you just do or don't have by the time the exam comes round.
