ok, so im not sure weather should do biology or chemistry a level.
at GCSE, I enjoyed biology a bit more than chemistry, that's because it makes alot More sense ( and I found it easier). in fact I found chemistry gcse VERY boring.
however, alot of people say that chem a level is more interesting than gcse, and I know a few people who disliked gcse chem and liked a level chem.
Now, the reason why I don't really want to do biology is because:
1. it's VERY content heavy- I'm very bad with rote fact learning (i hate mindlessly memorising)
2. it's more of a wordy subject, whereas I'm more mathematical
3. it's difficult for me to make notes.
However I want to do a level bio because:
1.alot more interesting than chem
2. I love making mind maps and connecting different ideas
3. you can "see" biology (if that makes sense)
4. it's a break from my other subjects (physics and maths)
5. I liked it at GCSE but I didn't LOVE it
I don't want to a level chem because:
1. I know I said I was mathematical, but I HATED quantitative chemistry at GCSE, it was too abstract (Like mole calculations).
2.I think it's too complex for me (I can't get my head around moles or Le chateliers principle from gcse)
3. if I do choose chem, I'll be going at a worse school than if I did bio (if that matters)
4. I ABSOLUTELY HATED CHEM AT GCSE .
5. I love to make mind maps and it's harder to do that for chem
6. I usually love solving problems, but for gcse chemistry, I just didn't care
I want to do a chem because:
1. alot of ppl say it's way more interesting than gcse
2. people say that it's a logical subject (and I'm more logical than wordy)
3. it suits better for my other subject (physics and maths)
4. I love solving problems - and I love gcse maths
For reference, I'm doing maths
and physics a level
I know this was long to read, so thanks if you read till the end, any help would be appreciated.
ps. I HAVE TO CHOOSE ONE OF THESE SUBJECTS
i need guidence from people whove done the a levels as im completely torn
