gollark: That's everything ever. It just happens to be particularly easy because at GCSE content is minimal.
gollark: It probably goes down the chemistry route of making you memorize 2838383939103848384 things.
gollark: I don't know if A-level is much better. I do know it isn't very mathy.
gollark: My friend switched to economics at the end of year 10 and got an A-ish grade on the end of year exams from 2 hours reading the textbook and someone's notes.
gollark: Really oversimplified, no mathematical models, and it was way too easy.
