Which is harder?

A level biology or A level geography? I've tried to research it and everyone is saying that they both need a lot of memorisation. Can people who take both please write a comparison on workload/difficulty etc. because im really stuck on what to choose. Thanks :smile:
A Level Biology is literally just memorising the mark scheme and a bit of maths. A level Geography does require a lot of memorisation but exam technique is key. You will need to answer 15 markers like an essay so if you like essays and are good with exam technique then pick it, but if you want something a little more straightforward, then pick biology.

thank you
I'd say biology is slightly difficult because there is more too learn and some of the ideas hard to grasp
