AQA A level physics module rankings? (Hardest to easiest)

After not doing anything this whole year I’ve decided to lock in and was curious to what modules everyone found easiest/hardest so I can prioritise certain modules.

Physics A level as a whole just doesn't make any sense to me at all. But I can confidently say that Waves is all gibberish so that's the worst for me, Mechanics can get crazy sometimes but I only need to learn the techniques and get used to the questions, Particles is crazy as well ngl, Electricity is nice tho. Basically everything tbh

Doing waves past paper qs now and they are definitely stressing me out. I’m very surprised you find electricity the easiest of them, a lot of people struggle with electricity. Particles and quantum for me is the easiest by far.

I think EM induction and capacitors get quite tricky in exam equations, but everything is quite difficult aside from Particles and quantum
