ICT GNVQ was piece of cake if you did everything on time and not leave it to the last minute like my mates and moi, the last day for each portfolio was the most stressful, no doubt... Formula's for physics got to me then, as did many things lol alhumdulillah didnt fail anything:D

[MusLiM 4 LiFe]

[jzcasejz]

The hardest for me was Maths. Failed the MAIN terminal exam...failed ALL my modules...but still somehow got a C... dunno how that works out.

Science was hard aswell...

[ibrarfaiz]

[Maarya]

but you got a B in the last essay we did?

tough subject? --> PE.

:w:

[strider]

I didn't find any of my subjects hard, Alhamdullilah. I think it's just a question of how much effort we are prepared to put into working; determination and dedication to succeed will go a long way.

[Strzelecki]

VCE History.
Ugh! For tis killing me. :( :P

From my experience, GCSE mathematics and History were tough. i think that they are all hard in their own way to some extent.

[enaya]

[- IqRa -]

Geography.

[true believer]

[GuestFellow]

I did my GCSE. I did...all right. I get the feeling my parents were not too pleased. Hard to please anyone now a days.

The hardest was GCSE Law but I enjoyed studying it. I achieved an Grade A.

[Faith.]

:sl:
Personaly I found English Litrature the hardest :skeleton:

:w:

[Banu_Hashim]

At GCSE? French! How I hated that subject.

[The Ruler]

Ah... How nostalgic. I'd said PE before and just now, seeing this thread, I though PE again.

I absolutely loved maths and history. Loved my teacher, who could make the most boring things -Munich Putsch (sp?)- fun. English Literature was relatively easy. Since we were spoonfed.

... And how I wish Maar was here to reminiscent.

I used to like Maths... before A-Level. Those were the days...

Ohohoho~ C3 for me wasn't so bad. In fact, in all honesty, I quite loved the paper. And I also had the pleasure of completing a math I first had difficulty with. So yah.

[Banu_Hashim]

Well done! My C4 paper was incredibly hard. I've never seen a paper so hard. Not to discourage you or anything, lol.

[The Ruler]

No, that's not particularly discouraging. I don't have much confidence when it comes to C4, but it shouldn't be that bad. Besides, I'm looking for a C at A2 for maths to get an A in A-level. That shouldn't be too hard. Hopefully.

Woa, you must of done really well in AS.:thumbs_up

[The Ruler]

Woa, you must of done really well in AS.:thumbs_up

I did okay-ish. There's always room for improvement. But yeah, it was a pretty high A. Which is why I planned to focus on Chemistry and Biology this year, but it didn't work.

[Yanal]

What does GCSE stand for? Good created standing elephant:? No but seriously what does it stand for?

[The Ruler]

No but seriously what does it stand for?

General Certificate for Secondary Education.

[Güven]

Oh you mean like the final exams of the secondary education?

[Banu_Hashim]

The final exams of compulsory secondary education, yes.

[Yanal]

Oh so for extra credits so you can get scholarships etc?

[Nájlá]

For me the toughest was graphics because i hated it and i didn't bother about it.

Maths was okay. Science i loved, English okay-ish, Art was the best, Religious Education was also the best too :p

[Güven]

ahh I get it!

All them of them were relatively easy for me.

and since we are at it , what about C3 , A1 , C4 orsomething?
I get all confused when you guys mention those.

at first I thought C4?? Bombs?? are they talking about bombs ?? lol

Lol. C4 is short for "Core 4", which is module of A-Level Maths. Not exactly the best idea to talk about bombs is it?.. :p

[Yanal]

^ what did you get bro?

[Güven]

Lol. C4 is short for "Core 4", which is module of A-Level Maths. Not exactly the best idea to talk about bombs is it?.. :p

oh I see , so it's all about maths when you guys mention those ...bo...codes. :D

[Yanal]

Math codes:? You guys made codes without telling me?

[The Ruler]

Math codes:? You guys made codes without telling me?

I'm going to suppose you forgot to add "I kid" at the end of the sentence.

I just began a Solomon Press C4, and I can't get beyond the second question. I forgot the art of expanding binomials. O_O

[Bub]

I think mine would be maths- im sooo bad at it

[Alim Apprentice]

English Lit for me :( Being forced to read and analyze works of absolutely no interest is absolute torture.

[Supreme]

History. Although I'm naturally good at it, I remember the coursework... always having to evaluate sources on Vietnam and cite their limitations. And then the ridiculous time you get in the exam, and those horrible 'How useful if this source?' questions...

was it too long or short? I remember when i did my GCSE history we had rather long time to do the exam. Not that im complaining :D

[Supreme]

Far too short. It's literally a mark a minute. You can't waste any time looking at the question. I was well trained for it, and luckily got an A overall. But the history paper itself is really wierd, it has lots of sections and you're only meant to do around three questions from ONE section. Get the section wrong, you've messed up the exam.

[sis muslimah]

hated english language ... eng lit was fine

loved maths and chemsitry :D

[Periwinkle18]

[GuestFellow]

GCSES are so useless.

[Aishath]

Salaam,

oh wow GCSEs were so long ago lol. I think it was a mix between Travel and Tourism or History perhaps.

[joyous fairy]

Salaam,

Travel and Tourism was not one of our options :( I would have done that lol, was it really that bad?

Id say my toughest one was Geography or Textiles, only because I joined the classes late (Cos we moved) and I didnt do the courseworks (there was a lot :p ) well enough.

[Salahudeen]

Mine was Math

[joyous fairy]

Mine was Math

:ooh: why? I liked GCSE Maths. The coursework was quite interesting. We werent allowed to take it home though cos it had to be done with supervision. One girl was allowed to take her home once lol. Favouritism or what!?

[GuestFellow]

Maths is a problem-solving subject. Some people hate solving problems. I guess I'm one of them lol.

For Math the foundation has to be there, I didn't learn anything in years 7 8 and 9 then was suddenly thrown into GCSE Math without knowing basic stuff. Teachers at my school didn't really check to see if each student understood and was upto date.

Ugh, same. Our class used to make the maths teacher cry! So you could imagine what the teaching was like in it :exhausted

As for the toughest, has to be biology, I have no idea how I got top marks in it when I completely hated it, tried so many times to pull a sicky to miss the class :p:

My class used to make my English teacher cry, my maths teacher just used to sit there and laugh and not teach when they would mess around which was very often.

[GuestFellow]

It's so wrong to make other people cry. This is why I advocate corporal punishment. Teenagers need a good beating.

Oh right. Aaah you missed out, it is kind of interesting at GCSE level.

you had maths coursework :o i cant even imagine what the coursework can be about :hmm: but i did enjoy maths in GCSEs but A-level another story :D

Yep, one was about Football! And one was algebra and we had to figure out this formula, I really liked that coursework :statisfie

;D In my school it was always ALWAYS the languages teachers crying, or being bullied. The Urdu teachers especially lol. And the French. They were funny though, once one guy was trying to be a smarty pants and started calling her a chien but she didnt even get it LOL.
