History is leagues harder than maths for me. Writing essays and understanding all of the content requires a lot of skill and time, while maths relies on your problem solving abilities and if you have a solid understanding of the content you don’t need to spend too much time memorising content.
@@pinemarten6241 you can't say that to new spec maths, the exams for edexcel was so hard in 2019 that it was 50% overall for an A.

I agree that languages are the "hardest" in terms of the kind of time it takes, but the exam itself is an absolute joke if you spend your free time immersed in the language. I hadn't done a lick of the Spanish A Level course, much less any revision, but after a couple of years of regular contact with the language (probably around an hour/day), out of curiousity, I took the listening and reading parts of the exam and scored full marks! It was lol easy, I'm talking playschool level. I was so shocked I went and read some forums to read the reactions of students who had taken that year's paper, and to my astonishment they were unanimously in agreement that it was _really_ hard. Unbelievable. Their issue was clearly that they had wasted their 'study' time revising conjugation tables and grammar "rules," when they should simply have been immersing. Language learning isn't "difficult" at all, it's just that it doesn't happen quickly, and there lies the "difficulty." But if you're "studying" rules and tables instead of simply spending time to listen and read, then it's going to be 1000x harder, if not impossible. One thing I will say is that you won't be _anywhere_ close to "fluent" when you've completed your A Level, unless you've also spent _thousands_ of hours immersed in it during those 2 years. The vast majority of university modern language graduates can barely order at a restaurant after 3-5 years of their language degree. There's no other way to learn a language to a 'functional' level than to immerse in it for thousands of hours, ideally 10s of thousands of hours. Those who tell you otherwise are either FOS, or else they've _grossly_ overestimated their level.
But the problem with what you just said is that the educational system itself is flawed and you only have 1 to 2 years to do the course on top of that the amount of homework and assignments and workload makes it difficult.
You’re not wrong. I have two people in my Spanish A Level class who are natives and for them grammar just comes down to whether it actually sounds like something they’d say or not in the same sense that for English speakers, they don’t really understand how English grammar works; they just say whatever makes sense. Unfortunately, most people don’t have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Spanish culture the way you have and have to learn by memorising words and grammar structure since they don’t exactly know what sounds ok in Spanish
I agree with top 2 being further maths and Physics, the application of knowledge is insane. No amount of past paper practices or doing questions will help you in being able to do questions you never seen.
@@hawkeyedsentinel4648 I KNOW. Physics doesn't have as much content as other subjects, but the application in questions (especially for the electricity topic) is stupid. I swear there's like a new format for every single question ever made for this a level subject.
@@hawkeyedsentinel4648 The idea behind doing past papers is NOT to expect something similar in an actual exam. The whole point of the exam is to give you unfamiliar situations and test your application of concepts which you've learnt in physics. The whole point of doing past papers is to help you understand the concepts that you're struggling with and understanding why exactly you're not able to apply them to unfamiliar situations and to work on it. If you properly understand the content then most of your work will actually be done to be honest and understanding the content is hard.
Teachers: this subject is good for anyone who is interested in the subject and you will be fine. This video: All the a levels you thought would be good choices are extremely difficult

A strange thing was in mocks only 1 person got a B or C, everyone else got A or D/U.
@@jackmathieson1903 ye I'm not writing As cost it's kind of a waste of time, I'm just gonna write loads of exams at the end of A levels. But I need to know all of it anyways, like maths I don't need to worry about, physics I'll probably need a couple study sessions, economics I'll definitely need to study cos I'm not that strong at it 😅 and further maths is just hard
naaah no way is chemistry harder than physics. If anything, physics is as hard or even harder than further maths. Nearly every question in physics is purely applied knowledge, most of the written questions are off spec and expect you to apply to stuff that you never seen and its frustrating because its a waste of time relying on the practicals you done in school. A level chemistry is like GCSE level compared to physics imo.
Around 1984 I took A level Chemistry seven times, every six months after the first year, at evening class, during a recession, when I had little money to spare. One of the jobs I was promised included rocket science research with a pass. The competition for sparse equipment, partners and the memorization involved crippled me and the final nail in the coffin was the senior lecturer, a marathon runner, telling me this was beyond my comprehension. I gave up there and then, did twelve marathons and got a GPA 3.6 in Social Science.
Hello, I am a high school senior student. I have my SAT in 2 months, my APs in 4 months, CLEP in 5 months, board exams in 4 months and one subject test in 4 months. ( i gave one subject test and got 800, and 1400 in SAT but will give again.) My board is an indian board (CBSE). i was wondering, should i give AS and A level in 3 subjects in june? I am pretty sure I already know a lot of syllabus as it overlaps from other tests but I am still unsure and very confused. Do tell please....
To make an educated decision look at the syllabus and specifications if you are sound in everything listed in the specifications then you should be fine. If not learn and revise
I was going to choose further maths, maths, physics and computer science before I realised that I wouldn't survive doing the subjects I'm not completely into so I instead went with biology, maths and chemistry. wish me luck lol
I took 4 subjects for A levels Maths, Economics, Business and Chemistry. It is pretty comical how the only science which i took is the toughest out of the 3, I mean it is vast but i had taken this subject mostly out of interest and my dread for the psychology subject so i can say that how hard an A level can be for you depends on your own opinion, if u enjoy the subject then learning will be easy.
*Help* I’m interested in doing law one day but my school doesn’t offer it pls help me what should I pick I definitely want to take history but I can’t pick between sociology literature and philosophy I also wanted to do Spanish but I think it would be too hard since so many native students are taking it and I’ll be competing against them for my grades Help pls!!!
Depends on which course you’d like to do. One thing I’d say is not to underestimate sociology, it’s not a soft option at all and requires a lot of work! Many top universities such as the LSE offer degrees in sociology

@@Fleetstreetbestone the best thing about doing a law degree is they don’t require specific subjects I’m hoping to do law with my a levels and you’d think they don’t correlate at all with law.

And maths and chemistry will help you too as they are extremely academic subjects so it will show your wide range of abilities.
