Dear TSRers,
I'm in my GCSE stage and I need to apply to a college fast. I'm not going to try and sound modest, I need cold hard facts. I'm brilliant at science. I'm predicted three A*s for it and I consistently achieve over 90% in all nine modules. I can learn most things very easily with the exception being P2 which talks about forces, motions, and electricity. P1 and P3 are very easy for me.
I want to take either chem or physics at A level and I heard A level is Physics is not much of a jump whereas A level Chem is quite the jump.I also heard Physics looks better on one's CV/ personal statement/ UCAS. On the other hand I prefer Chemistry to Physics and at GCSE I find it easier.
My question is, if there's anyone like me and you or your friends took either at A level, how's it going for you? Would you change the subject if you could? How did you find Chem or Physics at first?
The college that I want to go to uses the OCR spec for AS Physics and AQA for Chemistry
Thank you for reading.

I have a couple A2 friends who do both Physics And chemistry and they find the courses to be interesting, but physics they said involves a lot of memory with Astrophysics and they find Chemistry hard with back titrations etc

Forces motion and electricity is the bulk of a level physics and don't assume an easy GCSE science ride will give you the same for a level. Most of the people I know who got 3 A*s in triple science with high ums don't perform as good at A/AS level.
Look at what you want to do beyond a level and see what's more useful. If either are fine then pick the one you're better at.

Neither looks any better than the other on UCAS, unless one is a stated requirement for what you want to do at uni.
