i do 2u maths which i am horrible horrible at
but i also do bio and chem which im both pretty good at

i was advised against doing chem because people said that it involved a lot of maths and that you'll only be good at it if your good at maths but that doesn't seem to have been the case

chem is basic math and bio is not related to math, physics is much more demanding mathematically but just revise and ask for help and you will get better.

calculator work and formula application isn't very demanding

yeah the "hardest" thing you have to do is equate 2 formulas and solve it. that's about it. other than that just memorise all dat shet

None of the HSC sciences even really involves maths. Someone who is good at english has a better chance to do well than someone who is good at maths.

I don't know how you can call the stuff in HSC Chemistry or Physics as maths.

Period.

To be clear, what I just said pretty much sums up that you don't need any prior knowledge in maths to enter HSC Physics or Chemistry.

That's why you don't listen to anyone, just try to do the best subjects, and if it's too hard you can drop. But if you listened to what people said (trash) then you'll never know, cause you can't go up, you can only go down (subject wise)
