How hard does it get? I'm considering dropping it in-case I start failing hard.
I'm doing 2U Maths, although I did 5.2 in Year 10. Is it worth it? :|

The maths in HSC physics is really easy. Doing 2U maths is more then enough to understand it all. All you really need to know how to do is rearrange formula's.

Even general mathematics will be enough for physics. The Physics course doesnt really have calculus in it, its more substituting numbers into formulae.

Do not drop it UNTIL you are failing hard at it. I think a 5.2 math student is more than capable of the math in year 11/12 physics.

I'm also doing 2U Maths, and I was considering dropping physics but I decided to keep it until the end of the year.

Let's be serious here for a moment. It doesn't matter how hard it is, if you've mentally given up, you're not going to do well, no matter how hard you attempt to cram in study before each assessment or whatever. Unless you change your mental approach, Physics is one of those subjects which will just appear harder and harder, and more annoying and annoying (by HSC time, you will have felt you should have dropped it a year ago).
