What are the ‘easiest’ A levels content and exam wise?

What’s your opinion?

Go for an apprenticeship - much 'easier' than A levels.

Media Studies, Film Studies, Sociology, Business ETC. Are you asking out of general interest or are you asking because you want to do the easiest a levels. I would advise against it mostly because they are unlikely to get you anywhere unless they are related and you may not be interested in them. If you aren’t interested in them they will become tedious and therefore harder.

No A-Levels are easy so still except a substantial amount of work going into them, it’s just they are easier than A-Levels like Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry ETC.

I wouldn’t advise choosing the easiest A-Levels but instead choosing A-Levels that you will enjoy learning about and know you will excel in.

Hi @🐼PANDA🐼,

I would agree with @Luqmlam especially with how people with respond to this question. Usually it is advised to do a-levels and subjects with subjects you are interested in unless you have a specific degree or qualification in mind for the future where they require you to have certain a-levels, but most unis accept a combination of different subjects.

What subjects are you deciding between currently and (you don't have to yet) but is there a career you have in mind?

If you do want to pick subjects that are 'easy' for you, I would have a look any the subjects you are currently consistently good at and how much the exams count and how much exam/coursework is there as you might do better in coursework than exam so this could help sway your decision.

I hope this helps but ultimately think picking subjects that interest you that compliment each other might be the best choice if you want a smooth a-level journey (as smooth as it can be!).

I hope this helps.
