I do maths, physics, geography and Spanish a-levels. Physics is difficult at a-level. It went from being my easiest subject at GCSE to the hardest at a-level. I like maths a lot, lots of logic to it and I genuinely find it interesting.
I've done the class 1, it's not too bad and no finger up the bum thank god!!! and only a pin prick for me. No huge needles or anything. I did mine in June so I doubt it will have changed since then. For what it's worth I hated poetry aswell and somehow managed to pull a B out the bag at GCSE after Ds and Es in the mocks. It can be done
