Chemistry in my experience is harder. Physics is also hard but I enjoy it

I find chemistry easier but that's because I'm going for med, so I put more emphasis on chemistry I guess. In hindsight, physics wasn't too bad, just messed up one of the exams aha

Chemistry is harder.

I got a C at AS chemistry and an A in A2 physics.

I didn't do A-level physics, but I can't imagine anything being easier than A-level chem.

During AS i said Physics but after completing them both at A-Level, i found Chemistry more difficult overall. However i didn't really enjoy Chemistry, it felt very laborious to me and i only kept at it to save from the writing i would have had to do in Geography.

I love Physics, it is mostly mathematical. On the other hand, chemistry is a pain in the a**. Chemistry is so horrifying that I dropped it in 4 months. The worst part of chemistry is 'organic chemistry'.

physics for me

^ basically this. I think it depends on the exam board because I heard horror stories about chemistry, but OCR chemistry is basically just GCSE with a few new ideas.
Physics is... Yeah, I wouldn't advise doing it. It's definitely required the most work out of all my subjects, but once you get it it's not too bad.
But yeah, definitely chemistry. It's a lot easier

Guess it depends on your own strengths but I find the content for physics a lot harder to grasp than chemistry. On the other hand, chemistry is a lot more content heavy so it's more content to memorise than physics overall. For physics, as long as you understand the key concepts, there's not much to know.
