Well I have to say I struggle with English, so that's my hardest content wise :P. I'm more of a science person 8)

But PE is pretty hard, simply because of the grade boundaries. 78% is still a D grade.

Whats is yours/what was your hardest GCSE?

Aditional maths, calculus and logarithems on a 10th of the normal lessons. Also if you're finding those GCSEs hard definately avoid them in college, you cover more in a week of college than a term at high school.

You can do it! The only A2 result I'm not looking forward to is modern history, coursework sucks.

I found Resistant Materials hard, simply because I never knew what the hell I was doing, we had a teacher that taught us nothing.

A-Level English was probably the worst exam I've ever done. It was only two questions: Discuss the themes and ideas of your chosen text was the first. The second asked you to describe the processes you used to answer the first question. WTH does that even mean?

Religious Studies and then General Studies.

Even when knowing rather a bit, I knew nothing of most of the questions in the exams :(

Same; I have my French oral exam this Friday (OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN). My hardest GCSE was Welsh - well not really; I just couldn't be arsed with it. IT was quite difficult, though.

Yeah, the questions for A2 English are different now but they're still ridiculously demanding. :/

Lol, just clear things up. My lowest predicted grade is a B. But English can be hard because i'm crap at poetry, and I'm alright with the book I have to do part of my exam on.(I'm predicted an A). Also, it's the grade boundaries that make PE hard... 78% is a D grade as I said... pretty ridiculous as I'll be getting around that much in the exam, it should be a B grade if the grade boundaries were the same as other subjects. Yeh the content is easy but it's hard to get a good grade.

I suppose if I work really hard I'll get my A in English, but poetry is hard for me :?

English ain't too bad, you can get a good deal of the marks in the coursework. I gave up and the end of my exam and desided to just entertain the examiner, the question was to write about one of your dreams, mine started as a sci-fi thriller and quickly turned into cold war esque anti communism propaganda :lol:

Nah man, poetry's pretty easy. Just learn quotes and the devices and stuff. It's pretty funny how different all this exam business is in Britain compared to here XD. I'm Irish btw. I have my equivilant to GCSE's in June :(

I found Spanish hardest, because I was forced to do a language but I didn't pay any attention during lessons the whole 2 years. Got a grade G in my oral exam, but somehow managed a D overall. I don't regret not taking it seriously though; I signed up for German and they cancelled it due to lack of interest. They wanted to kick me off Spanish so their average grades weren't affected, but I stayed on as revenge for cancelling German.

You were allowed to be kept in Spanish but not German?
