Good job me. I thought it would be a good idea to take all 3 Sciences. It was not. Every lesson our physics teacher says we should've covered something in a level maths or core maths and I do neither. Don't do what I did.
@@peeper2070 What does that mean lol? I'm predicted A*AA. I know people who didn't have to try in subjects like media and still ended up with Bs and above.
@@markford1638 They count for getting your university places lol. Also, this year predictions actually did matter, so you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
Anileh t nah I don’t know that still. Further maths is probs the hardest because it’s the only a level borderline degree level. But chemistry isn’t the hardest for a lot of people
AF25 of course this depends on your strengths, for me I'm better at deductive skills which is why I do better in maths and physics than chemistry. also why i get significantly higher scores in physical chemistry than I do in organic. I'm not very studious so fall short in chemistry where you need to retain a lot of information, compared to physics and maths where you can use first principles and logic to deduce answers/learn a method and apply it in different situations.
Not entirely true. A 2008 study from Durham looked at 250,000 a level results and used the Rasch model to compare predicted grades Vs actual grades. Based on this large study researchers deduced the hardest A levels where Chemistry, Maths and Physics, while the easiest were Media studies and business studies. Empirically, some A levels are harder. Doing A level physics is like asking someone to climb Ben Nevis. It's going to be tough even if you are a brilliant climber. If you are on crutches, are obese and have poor eye sight, climbing up a small hill might seem incredibly difficult and just as challenging as the experienced climber who goes up Ben Nevis. If you ask the person on the crutches to go up Ben Nevis, it would seem almost impossible to them. So in a similar way I get that someone who has limited academic potential may feel Business Studies or Sociology is the toughest thing in the world. To someone with high academic potential chemistry or physics will seem as tough. Just because someone struggles with Media Studies or Art doesn't mean they are empirically tougher though. A student who struggles to pass business's studies is unlikely to get anywhere near a pass A level maths.
@@TeacherToolkitDemo Its subjective, but you can look at it statistically. Like ask a load of students what they think is the hardest subject, or the hardest subject they are studying. Then try and deduce an answer, but you wouldn't ask 99 maths students and 1 history student, that would give skewed results.
@@colinjava8447 No it isn't subjective at all. Go look at actual research and statistical analysis. There is a massive difference between grades at A-level with students that have the same average point score from gcse.
did you do media?? do you know how much time and effort goes in to a media a level?? we don't just mess about on photoshop. it is not a comparison though because media isn't the same as further maths. its a different subject. all a levels are hard thats a fact
Joseph Reeves Media studies is a doss subject and is not really an academic A-level. Not all A-levels are hard anything that ends in ...."studies" is a doss (excluding RS). The only 'Hard' A-levels are facilitating subjects
It isn't an academic subject but it doesn't mean it isn't hard. Okay so politics isn't a hard A level, RS isn't a hard A level. Music isn't a hard A level. Psychology isn't a hard subject. Mate just have a look at how ridiculous you're being. Did you take media studies??
You're forgetting art! Not necessarily because it's difficult but it's by far the most time consuming, I do History and Spanish and art has taken up most my time
Music is way harder than people think, with the current exams you have to learn over 50 songs from set works (their features and specific evidence from the pieces, also how they're relevant), you have to understand the terminology, write 2 essays that are perfectly structured and have wider listening links to each point, which means you not only have to study the set works but be able to apply wider listening to them as well. And that's just the paper 😂 you have to do compositions and do a recital that lasts around 10-12 minutes, I'm kind of glad it's on this list though 😂
Very much appreciate how they recognise the difficulty in music. I am an accomplished musician and with my music exam board, we are expected to learn ridiculous and minute details, as well as our knowledge spanning from 16th century historical and contextual influences of music, all the way to electronic music and how sound systems work- I.e. delving into music technology. The reason Music is considered soft is because many people recon we sit around a camp fire strumming on guitars all lesson, when in reality it’s a highly academic subject requiring rigorous skills. And facilitating subjects are bullshit, because a level English Literature is so much easier than music a level imo.
English literature is honestly one of the easiest subjects around. You just read a bit, think for 10 seconds and just pick up a few random quote to help. At least in History you have to memorise minute detail over 300 years . Music is insanity though. I really wanted to do it as an A level, but I just knew I wasn't good enough. I'm barely grade 6 on the piano...
I'm taking Music for GCSEs and I cannot cope. I'm grade 8 in the drm kit and grade 6 french horn so I'm not used to working with harmony and keys at all. It's like all musicians are expected to have perfect pitch, I can't imagine how hard A Level music is.
@@Anonymous-xr8hx theres so many set works we have to remember its awful, and then get asked stuff like 'what chord is at bar 200?' as if we should know what is happening at every exact moment of every piece. we have 18 set works, each of which can contain up to like 5 pieces/ movements. its awful, dreading the exam.
@@BeccasBlueJeansx Is this GCSE or A Level, because I only have 8 set works for my GCSE. Either way good luck 😁. Once you get this one out the way, the others will seem like a walk in the park!
So we are not going to mention art? Art is like going through hell and back, if one of you are wanting to do art, get ready to spend a lot of time into it.
Im doing History, Biology and ICT and i can say history is the hardest by far with biology only just behind it and ICT is fairly easy but very stressful.
I did EngLit; I had the most breakdowns over it. It can make you feel so dumb, especially if you're aiming for an A or A* as a final result (like I was). It's not an objectively-based subject, it's extremely subjective and variable. It's draining and challenging, and requires you to be very perceptive over the smallest thing. I can do the same thing consistently, and get an A, but then a C the next week. I'd only advise those who did well in it for GCSE, to do it at A Level.
Me: A Level Maths , Psychology, Lit and Lang Maths seems alright so far just as long as you focus 100% Psychology relatively straight forward just make sure you dont get behind English... hardest one so far for me , especially lit/lang a lot of quotes to learn a lot more detailed analysing and writing 4 courseworks
I do top two hardest subjects - French and Further Maths (with Maths) 😂 No wonder I struggle much. Also, Art should be on the list, in my opinion. It is very time-consuming and requires immense amounts of work for a good grade.
Jemima Ashton i know this is reaaaaalllly late, but im doing bio chem and art (maybe even history as a 4th), how did u find it?? im stressing im gonna have no time for anything but art lol especially with 4 subjects cause i know it was A LOT of work at gcse, is it a huge step up at a level??
Um Biology is definitely harder than Psychology! I've never struggled with Psychology which is the subject I'm taking at Uni but Biology is so difficult to get to grasps with especially the new specification for edexcel!
Economics was awful, so many graphs and theories but i'd take it any day over history, everyone in my class regretted that one, i loved French only one i was any good at tbh
Literally barely any links between then alevels, they're polar opposite commit to one either maths physics further maths or french and English DONT FUCKING MIX THEM
I am taking English language, drama and business…glad to see none of them are on here. Question, out of these 3 a levels what would you say is the hardest? I’m intrigued
Not really true. With A level you get to skip some things like ToK but you also go more in depth with science and math. Someone taking further math, math, chemistry and physics isn't going to have it easier than someone taking the IB
I do pre u french and literature. It's been two weeks and I have 5 pages of vocab to learn for french , new tenses to learn and books to read. Literature I have to adapt a new style of writing and there's so much more content needed😐
taking maths, further maths and physics, i find it way easier than gcse just cause there's less writing and college in general is just easier for me to learn at. i wouldn't worry too much about what A levels are difficult, just which ones you find the most enjoying or easy for you personally :thumbsup:
@@jamie_robertson3114 not too bad, i was an awful student all around but came out of it with an A in maths and Cs in further maths and physics. it was basically just rushing you through the first year content that you'd normally do in uni, so pretty useful for most of the stem degrees i'd say. very small class for further maths but might be different at your college ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ hope you enjoy your course
Alivia McClung Hi I’m thinking about taking law next year for one of my A levels. Is it a good subject? Like is it really hard to do or really boring at any points ?
I do media studies right? And I know it’s not as hard as science and maths but is it a good A level if I actually want to work in the media/marketing. No point doing the ‘harder’ a levels if I don’t wanna be a doctor ygm. I wish people didn’t look down on other just because they don’t want to go into medicine or maths, it’s annoying
Sophie-Madyson Whittaker I mean I do media and it’s my easiest subject but it’s not easy. We have 17 case studies to learn off by heart, and a lot of terms and we have to be pretty much a master at photoshop and video editing and using camera equipment.
Daniel O’Callaghan most of the people who do music at a level have advanced theory ans instrumental knowledge anyway, so it is much easier to adapt to than economics, for example, where many have never done it as a subject before
Adam Lashen fair enough- my case is different! Even though I have a diploma on the flute, grade 8 piano and are in the national youth choir and wind orchestra of wales, still find music a level extremely difficult! 😂
Adam Lashen I agree Geography and Economics is hard. But mate trust me psychology is no walk in the park, I took it because I thought it would be and BOY was I wrong. It’s solid if you want to do well and I mean get an A/A* because the volume, the detail and sometimes the exam questions can be quite sneaky, especially on the new specification.
Imo Mfl is actually super hard. Now I am Spanish and got an A* but I saw 90% of people drop Spanish at A2 from AS. Furthermore, simply being Spanish did not mean it was a walk in the park. I actually had to work harder. And use formal Spanish language, which I never used at home. Also the jump from Gcse to A-level is super misleading, and many A* gcse students struggled in a level. As you're simply not taught enough to jump in the a level pool. Anyone else have similar experiences?
Ashun yes I can relate totally, I do turkish a level, and people say how it’s so easy for you cos your fluent, but little do they no it’s actually quite challenging.
I did: English Language (B) Mathematics (B) Chemistry (A) Biology (A, 2 marks from an A* 😭) Business Diploma (D*/D*) I dropped Physics My Biochemistry (Hons) degree was easier than my A-levels and we did: RT-PCR, qtPCR, SDS-PAGE, Biophysics, Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Advanced C13, N15 and S35 NMR Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Bioinformatics, Advanced Immunology, Immunology, Computer Science and Data Analysis/Visualisation, nucleic acid interactions and scientific investigations, dissertation, enormously long and intense experiments with huge reports and complicated calculations as well as Neuroscience
@@abigailgichia2150 so its an year old post. I got an A in law and a B in history. Both are hard in their own ways but history id easy to learn. I panicked during my history p1 thatd why B lol.
@@IA-qk7ps I got A in all components of economics and Business. Anyone who tells you there is hardcore math involved in economics, is blatantly misguiding. yes there is math involved but just used for the derivation of formulaes and some minor calculation. Business is all about application and analysis, if you can read and apply the the text in a wider scenarip, you definitely will ace the subject. The content of business is very easy but students mess up their analysis and application which is v important.
I studied A level French and whilst I loved the language it was super painful, no matter how much you knew you could always know more, caused me a serious breakdown 😅
I'm doing Religion, Sociology and Health and Social care. Thankfully none of them were on here. I would have loved to have done Psychology, but my school didn't offer it.
Can you listen to piece of music you've never heard before and immediately tell the key or the interval between two notes without sheet music? Because that's the sort of skills you need for GCSE Music, I can't imagine how hard A Level music is.
@@alishabilal5756 hi, I’m not sure I have anything particularly insightful to say. Just bare in mind that the coursework is 25% of your grade for history(iirc), so make sure you spend enough time to ensure you get like 35+ marks out of 40 (solid A). Ideally 40, but yk. It’s what I did, but I got a B, so I’m not really a credible provider of advice. For French, it seems that different people learn better in very different ways. Just practice- don’t be scared of making mistakes in class etc- it’s how you learn ofc. Just figure out what works for you- and practice. You’ll do great I’m sure, and good luck :)
Depends: It's an amazing combo if you are good at maths. If you're good at maths, you'll find programming and physics equations really sensible and easy to apply. Then again, that's just my experience as I kept 5 subs including the three you mentioned. If you aren't good at maths or if you found yourself performing better at languages, history, business etc in the past years...then it's the worst combination for you, you could even fail. Trust me, I perform good at maths and sciences but I suck in accounts, I was a C student till I dropped it so you aren't dumb if you get a C, you might just be studying the wrong subject
k...on a scale of 1 to 100, how much am i fucked. Taking following subjects next year: 1. maths 2. further maths 3. physics 4. General paper 5. computer science
Maths is probably harder when you look at the proportion of passes, mainly because less able students can do maths as opposed to further maths, where only A* GCSE are allowed to do further.
I’m sending in a college application tonight, and I’m definitely doing A Level business studies, but I’m thinking about taking A level biology. Has anyone done these subjects or taking these subjects for A level?
@@IA-qk7ps Yes, I'm taking business studies. It's the subject that I'm finding the easiest (I do English and Law as well). It's not difficult for me, but I know a few in the class who have struggled with a few topics, but with a little bit of explaining from the tutor they now understand it.
Omg I’m so scared, I’m done with year 11 after Friday. In September I’m going to sixth form or college and I don’t know what to study, a levels are so hard so I’m thinking about the btec route but at the same time I wanna give a level a go first.
Okay, psychology should not be on that list (I did it at AS, there’s quite a lot to learn but what you’re learning is not that difficult and you don’t have to be really precise when you’re answering) It certainly should NOT be considered harder than Biology.
FP3, S3&4 and M3-5 are part of it. There are 3 A level maths qualifications. Keep in mind I'm talking about old spec (pre-2015). So it may have changed.
basically all A-levels....

Hardest = Physics, then Maths, then Economics, then Business = Easiest.
I am the right opposite, I find math the easiest, then business and economics, coz I am not good with essays
@@turbothrottletrouble4217 same
I do Maths, Further Maths, Physics & Chemistry :(
I really want to do chemistry, biology and physics
You’re in for a treat 🤮
Summer Fruits physics and chemistry without maths alevel, that’s suicide
@@Ke1ko7 lmfao
I'm taking french, biology, maths, and physics. No seriously. all of which appeared on this list.
Same!! Except French. Which one are you enjoying the most?
Economics should have been on the list, at least that's my opinion.
CopelandHD agreed
taking maths, further maths and physics, i find it way easier than gcse just cause there's less writing and college in general is just easier for me to learn at. i wouldn't worry too much about what A levels are difficult, just which ones you find the most enjoying or easy for you personally :thumbsup:
Hows further maths been I'm planning on taking the same a levels as you
@@jamie_robertson3114 not too bad, i was an awful student all around but came out of it with an A in maths and Cs in further maths and physics. it was basically just rushing you through the first year content that you'd normally do in uni, so pretty useful for most of the stem degrees i'd say. very small class for further maths but might be different at your college ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ hope you enjoy your course
I definitely think law should be on there. There is triple the content and I do psychology and history
Alivia McClung Hi I’m thinking about taking law next year for one of my A levels. Is it a good subject? Like is it really hard to do or really boring at any points ?
I do media studies right? And I know it’s not as hard as science and maths but is it a good A level if I actually want to work in the media/marketing. No point doing the ‘harder’ a levels if I don’t wanna be a doctor ygm. I wish people didn’t look down on other just because they don’t want to go into medicine or maths, it’s annoying
stfu
Gemma Norfolk I see what you mean but media is honestly such a pisstake. Easy A*.
Sophie-Madyson Whittaker I mean I do media and it’s my easiest subject but it’s not easy. We have 17 case studies to learn off by heart, and a lot of terms and we have to be pretty much a master at photoshop and video editing and using camera equipment.
Geography and economics should be on there, not music and psychology
Adam Lashen do you do music?
You don’t do psychology the amount of things you have to remember is haaard but I guess the questions are straight forward
Daniel O’Callaghan most of the people who do music at a level have advanced theory ans instrumental knowledge anyway, so it is much easier to adapt to than economics, for example, where many have never done it as a subject before
Adam Lashen fair enough- my case is different! Even though I have a diploma on the flute, grade 8 piano and are in the national youth choir and wind orchestra of wales, still find music a level extremely difficult! 😂
Adam Lashen I agree Geography and Economics is hard. But mate trust me psychology is no walk in the park, I took it because I thought it would be and BOY was I wrong. It’s solid if you want to do well and I mean get an A/A* because the volume, the detail and sometimes the exam questions can be quite sneaky, especially on the new specification.
Currently taking maths,bio,physics,psychology... happy days
I am taking Psycology and english lit good luck to me😂😂
Hi Maria u look pretty cool can I hv ur insta?
Is English lit hard
@@alifaisal1194 hahaha
So where is accounting
Imo
Mfl is actually super hard.
Now I am Spanish and got an A* but I saw 90% of people drop Spanish at A2 from AS. Furthermore, simply being Spanish did not mean it was a walk in the park. I actually had to work harder. And use formal Spanish language, which I never used at home.
Also the jump from Gcse to A-level is super misleading, and many A* gcse students struggled in a level. As you're simply not taught enough to jump in the a level pool.
Anyone else have similar experiences?
Ashun yes I can relate totally, I do turkish a level, and people say how it’s so easy for you cos your fluent, but little do they no it’s actually quite challenging.
I considered french a level but then I realised that despite my a* speaking and a writing at Gcse it would still be way to difficult
Chemistry is really hard imo. So many people that do other subjects with chemistry always say it’s the hardest.
I did:
English Language (B)
Mathematics (B)
Chemistry (A)
Biology (A, 2 marks from an A* 😭)
Business Diploma (D*/D*)
I dropped Physics
My Biochemistry (Hons) degree was easier than my A-levels and we did: RT-PCR, qtPCR, SDS-PAGE, Biophysics, Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Advanced C13, N15 and S35 NMR Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Bioinformatics, Advanced Immunology, Immunology, Computer Science and Data Analysis/Visualisation, nucleic acid interactions and scientific investigations, dissertation, enormously long and intense experiments with huge reports and complicated calculations as well as Neuroscience
Your biology made me cry I can't imagine the pain. But at least it's an A, better than below.
@@bestieb3851 lmao ikr I’m just happy to have the A
I'm doing EGP, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Further Mathematics.
Modern foreign languages
Futher maths
History
Physics
English literature
Chemistry
Maths
Psychology
Biology
Music
I did four of them! Got an ABBB
Well done, that’s a great achievement😍🙌🏾
English language is hardest😪😴 Doing AS English since September and I'm literally dead.
I'm Doing Law, History, Economics, Business and Accounting. My A-levels are in just 2 months, RIP :(
Is law hard and history hard?
@@abigailgichia2150 so its an year old post. I got an A in law and a B in history. Both are hard in their own ways but history id easy to learn. I panicked during my history p1 thatd why B lol.
@@IA-qk7ps I got A in all components of economics and Business. Anyone who tells you there is hardcore math involved in economics, is blatantly misguiding. yes there is math involved but just used for the derivation of formulaes and some minor calculation.
Business is all about application and analysis, if you can read and apply the the text in a wider scenarip, you definitely will ace the subject. The content of business is very easy but students mess up their analysis and application which is v important.
@@IA-qk7ps had an A in o level business as well :p
@@tahahabib5271 how hard is economics and accounting A levels?
I do Maths, Biology and Psychology. I think Biology should be put higher cus of the way they do exams now :(
Economics and Accounting is also hard
I studied A level French and whilst I loved the language it was super painful, no matter how much you knew you could always know more, caused me a serious breakdown 😅
I'm doing Religion, Sociology and Health and Social care. Thankfully none of them were on here.
I would have loved to have done Psychology, but my school didn't offer it.
Further maths, physics, maths and chemistry are the hardest
Why tf are all the a levels I was thinking about doing on this list 😭
What about Sociology ??? . It is a lot of writing and essay writing , and what about all the studies and theories you have to know ?
I have three subjects which are Physics, Chemistry and Maths. What a wonderful life
Music over law what planet am I on.
Can you listen to piece of music you've never heard before and immediately tell the key or the interval between two notes without sheet music? Because that's the sort of skills you need for GCSE Music, I can't imagine how hard A Level music is.
Anonymous exactly. People really dont understand how difficult it is and how much hard work it takes!
Man!!! I think Computer Science deserved a place.
Same
Tip they are equally hard just pick some you like or do a BTEC L3 extended diploma.
Does anyone do geography or sociology? I don’t know which one to pick
corona class of 2020 anyone?
Yep
I have an A level in French and it’s not that hard 🤷♂️ history is more challenging in my opinion, as there is simply so much to learn
do you have any tips for french and history? i’m going into year 12 next year and i’m really scared haha
@@alishabilal5756 hi, I’m not sure I have anything particularly insightful to say. Just bare in mind that the coursework is 25% of your grade for history(iirc), so make sure you spend enough time to ensure you get like 35+ marks out of 40 (solid A). Ideally 40, but yk. It’s what I did, but I got a B, so I’m not really a credible provider of advice. For French, it seems that different people learn better in very different ways. Just practice- don’t be scared of making mistakes in class etc- it’s how you learn ofc. Just figure out what works for you- and practice. You’ll do great I’m sure, and good luck :)
Can someone tell me if maths, physics and computer science are good for a levels or will it be too much work?
Depends: It's an amazing combo if you are good at maths. If you're good at maths, you'll find programming and physics equations really sensible and easy to apply. Then again, that's just my experience as I kept 5 subs including the three you mentioned. If you aren't good at maths or if you found yourself performing better at languages, history, business etc in the past years...then it's the worst combination for you, you could even fail. Trust me, I perform good at maths and sciences but I suck in accounts, I was a C student till I dropped it so you aren't dumb if you get a C, you might just be studying the wrong subject
Muy 012 Yh mate I pretty good at maths. Thanks for your help
Why is geography, Rs: philosophy and ethics, economics, or computer science not on this list? Geography has one of the lowest success rates.
Further maths and physics
k...on a scale of 1 to 100, how much am i fucked. Taking following subjects next year:
1. maths
2. further maths
3. physics
4. General paper
5. computer science
Maths is probably harder when you look at the proportion of passes, mainly because less able students can do maths as opposed to further maths, where only A* GCSE are allowed to do further.
Histories hands down one of the hardest in terms of content... learn 400years of content is really tough
Is a level economics hard?
I am maths , phyicsc , computing and epq next year
Annabelle Robinson thankfully you didn’t take English
physics is really interesting, but very difficult imo
I am deciding to take Maths Physics English Language Economics or maybe history also. So will I be able to manage them together?
I'm confused as to why you didn't mention geography. Is it considered to be an easy subject ? or just easier then the ones in this list.
I’m sending in a college application tonight, and I’m definitely doing A Level business studies, but I’m thinking about taking A level biology. Has anyone done these subjects or taking these subjects for A level?
@@IA-qk7ps Yes, I'm taking business studies. It's the subject that I'm finding the easiest (I do English and Law as well). It's not difficult for me, but I know a few in the class who have struggled with a few topics, but with a little bit of explaining from the tutor they now understand it.
Im doing Chemistry, Biology, Maths and Psychology next year. All of these were mentioned in the video. Oh well guess im fucked
Chemistry, biology and french
Omg I’m so scared, I’m done with year 11 after Friday. In September I’m going to sixth form or college and I don’t know what to study, a levels are so hard so I’m thinking about the btec route but at the same time I wanna give a level a go first.
Maths, further maths, physics and computer science. Who’s with me.
Okay, psychology should not be on that list (I did it at AS, there’s quite a lot to learn but what you’re learning is not that difficult and you don’t have to be really precise when you’re answering) It certainly should NOT be considered harder than Biology.
Im Considering Geography, Politics and sociology. Is this a good combination?
Beatrice Harnett yeah sociology is amazing and thank god I can count on it to spare me more time for English Literature and History.
How did he put chem at num 6? I mean it combined with math is the reason why majority of students end up washing cars.
Bro that’s basically everything
I do Chemistry, Biology and English Literature and English is so painful
Mathematics Alevels is pretty easy(I am serious). Physics is by far the toughest and Chemistry is ok ok
Chemistry 😭😭
I agree (though chemistry so far has been a piece of piss)
If I had watched this before I might not have picked to do Chemistry, Psychology and Maths 😭😭😭 oh well my A2 exams are 3 weeks away
cecilia aladore have fun
What about additional further maths?
Mate there ain't no additional further maths man.
FP3, S3&4 and M3-5 are part of it. There are 3 A level maths qualifications. Keep in mind I'm talking about old spec (pre-2015). So it may have changed.
Alright. Thanks for the clarification.
No wonder I failed...French, history, biology and maths
u failed because you didn't put the work in not because the subjects were necessarily hard
What’s harder further maths GCSE or Maths a level, I’m not sure If I’m going to do any maths at A level next year
DzXrK further GCSE is year one Alevel basically, it helps a lot and doing it means Alevel is a bit easier for the people in my class who have done it
