Any A level is hard if you're lazy, let alone multiple A levels or a degree.

Bio and chem aren’t hard subjects, there’s just a lot of content to cover. You have to make sure you keep on top of the work otherwise you fall in a pit, which can be quite hard to get out of. But as long as you work on them consistently, it should be fine
Just be warned not everyone will make it.
Look what happened to Dr Doolittle, Dr Spock and Dr Who.

that's easily enough work for A-levels. (dunno for uni - not sure how the workload for medicine is)

yeah I take both bio and chem. what I mean is that you should try and keep on track with school work and homework. If you're thinking of doing something like medicine in uni, then it's important for a lot of medical schools that you get good grades in bio and chem. I'd say, in my opinion, chemistry is harder than biology because not only do you have to learn a lot of content, but you also have to apply it to quite difficult scenarios. On the contrary, a lot of biology is fact recall, however you get extra marks in the exam if you answer questions with information outside the spec so i'd say you have to spend a good amount of time learning both subjects. hope this helps :smile:
