Whichever you like best...

Personally, I believe Physics is a lot of problem solving, bio is a lot of memorising and chem is a mix of each.

Scaling wise Phys > Chem > Bio

As khorne said, bio is all memorising physics is problem solving (not much maths, still a lot of theory) and chem is a mixture.

Pick either what you like the most, what you want to do as a career (bio for med, chem for eng) or what you're best at. If you still can't decide and don't care then just do physics as it scales the best.

I'm taking all of them in the hope that they'll clash, and because I'm interested in them. Take Chemistry, as stated above, it's a mixture of both.

It's better to take chemistry for uni purposes.

personally I like phys the best. Chem's a little too boring. and I never did bio. coz I really really don't like bio. but it's not bad.

you can always start something and then change if you find that you don't really like it.

and like I said to keith, take a look at the syllabus or a textbook or something. it really helps. :]

I am doing all three of them next year but i would say chemistry and physics would be the two i would would out as the most important. I really depends in what you want to do later on in uni to pick between them and if you are like them i guess

Chem scales really well but has its moments of difficulty... Bio is good if you're good at english & physics is good if you're good at maths :)
