Help! Scared about starting Physics AS... Is it too difficult?

If you put in the work, inside and outside of college, then AS Physics should not be too hard. However, the fact that the principal is saying that nobody has gotten more than a C suggests to me that the teaching may be below par.

One of the main things to consider is whether you enjoy or are interested in the subjects. You certainly seem interested in physics, and combining it with maths should aid you in your journey towards working in finance.

I've also confirmed my a-level choices but I am not sure if I can change them now... ****.

I'm also taking AS level Physics this year, and I had some really in-depth talks with my GCSE Physics teacher about it because I was slightly worried about taking it. He said that Physics is basically applied maths, and it is quite a step-up from GCSE to AS level but if you work really hard then it should be absolutely fine. You say that you find Physics interesting, and you're much more likely to do well in a subject you're interested in as you'll be willing to put in extra work outside of school so I would say go for it! Try not to worry about it too much though, because if you worry and start panicking you won't do as well in ISAs and exams.

Physics is probably better for finance than a social science, it's more highly respected by prospective universities, and if you start it and are struggling you should be able to switch to another subject within the first few weeks - the majority of schools have that policy.

I'hv just finished AS physics and its is terribly hard. i mean i found it really hard because AS physics is the biggest jump ever from GCSE.
I don't mean to scare you but if you put in A LOT of work in it then i guess you will surely succeed but it is hard the first time. Gets easier as you go along.
Also depends which exam board ure doing. OCR is way harder then AQA is. so depends on a lot of things i guess. AS physics is good tho, a very challenging subject worth doing i guess.

My GCSE results were: a*aaabbbbb
I have just confirmed my AS Levels : Maths,Hist,Economics and.... Physics!
But I'm super scared about starting Physics
I couldn't decide between a humanity based subject like English Lit or Philosophy or a scientific subject - Physics!
I find Physics highly interesting and am willing to put in 110% effort as soon as I begin the course. However, my dad strongly advised against it since it would be too difficult. I also visited a tuition center with my dad and the principal there warned me against Physics too, saying that the highest anyone has gotten was a C in his center... I'm really nervous that I have made the wrong choice! The teachers told me I should consider more social sciences seeing as I got an A and A* in both English courses at GCSE but I don't know.. I don't really find English that interesting.....
In future I would really like to go into Finance!

it's not that bad jheeeeze, i've looked at some past papers and to me it just looks like you need to apply maths to the question with your understanding. Chemistry is definitely a harder A level in my opinion and physics is actually interesting
