Well
Chem isnt too bad, just memory work mixed with the concepts
Phys is conceptual, which can be bad

Overall, if you look at the 2 hsc exams
The physics one is much harder
Or atleast I would say

Chemistry is harder than Physics since its is so damn boring and when you try to study for it, you bloody fall asleep. First 2 modules were easier than Physics' first 2 modules. The second half of it was just too damn boring, and Physics' second half was pretty interesting to me. Whereas for Physics, at least it is interesting to study for.

I personally thought Acidic Environment wa the easiest part of the Chemistry course.

no physics is memory + history.. 10% concept id say..
while in chem id say about 30% concept and rest memory

Biology = Straight forward. Just remembering LOTS of stuff.

Physics = Conceptual. Hard to understand but less actual work.

Chemistry = Bit of both. I think its the middle ground of the other two.



I personally find physics the hardest, but I also suck at maths lol

Physics used to be hard until they changed the course because it was to maths based. Now it is boring and just about the history with barely any calculations or anything. Thats why i dropped it plus a terrible teacher.

Chemistry much harder. Plus chem is sooooo long.

Ok hear is the deal. Chem is pharking BORING as hell and it doesn't make sense as sometimes reactions dont even work and there is no reason why?!?!?! You have to learn the stuff as there is no logical answer to any problem. Only what you teacher has taught you or ment to have taught you!

Physics is much easier as its all logic. ie Current makes a magnetic Feild.. ..What goes up much come down....Yes it does. OK i get that. a magnetic force on a current carrying wire causes a motor effect EASY STUFF. Tho projectile questions a painful at times.

Just my 2 cents
