Hey i was considering dropping either chem or physics im doing abit better in physics than chem but i heard in yr 12 physics is really hard?? So i was wondering how hard is physics compared to chem or vice versa and do they scale similar?
thx =]

Imo Physics is easier and more interesting than chem. However, i think chem has been scaling higher in the last few years.

My advice is to depend on your yearly results

I find chemistry is easier to do self-study on. I don't do physics, as I find it harder.

I think physics is harder because you learn many new concepts which take a while to get your head around, like projectile motion or those Einstein thought experiments (theory of relativity). With chemistry, there is none of that, it is similar biology in that sense. It's just straightforward information that you can just learn. Oh, and there is a lot less formulas to remember, they are also much simpler.
