Wow physics unit 1 was so easy! Though i have to say that unit 2 was hard enough! I just think chemistry is harder due to soo many equations to learn
I wouldn't say hardest but so far the one that makes me 'think' the most is biology. My 1st/2nd favourite science.

Maybe it's because we haven't started human biology topics yet. :yep:

Biology is the easiest for me theres no applied knowledge really. You dont even need to understand anything to get A or A* in the paper you just need to learn it off and write it on the page even if you have no clue what your talking about

See, that's exactly WHY I don't think Chemistry is the hardest. Equations to learn are a pain but they're not difficult. Physics is just concept after concept and incredibly boring. I hate it!
I think Physics is the easiest science GCSE but some of it is rather obscure. Also I cocked up the exam because I revised Chemistry and Biology exclusively XD
Anyone mentioned Astronomy and Geology?

I kind of agree with applied knowledge but not fully as some things come up in Chemistry and vice versa. I can't really think of an example though. Revising is simpler for biology I agree but I find Chemistry easier to revise for (not as much). To fully enjoy biology though, I think you need to understand it imo. :smile:

I dont think any concepts at gcse level are too bad to be honest just some take a day or two and your fine!

I would say that's dependent on the person. With me, if I find the subject tedious, boring or dull, it just will not go in. At all.

Ah well good luck with all your sciences anyway :biggrin:
What exam board did you do?
I did AQA this year and Biology was terrible absolutely shocking- physics weren't too bad I guess

I agree with it being dull!

I'd hate to say it but its definitely Biology... So much memory involved while Chemistry and Physics require mostly working out and general logic...
