a level physics or chemistry

hey everybody,

so basically, im trying to finalise my a levels and so far ive got maths, futher maths and economics. i want to do a fourth one and i want it to be a science but im just not sure which one. for reference, i want to do maths at uni so i dont really NEED to do another stem subject but i want to.

anyways moving on to my question, what should i do? i hear that chem is so hard and physics is a living hell but obviously that all depends on the person. so from an unbiased perspective ( maybe from someone who does both ) which one should i firm ???

sorry this is so long lol

both are hard subjects don't get me wrong but it depends on the person, I know a lot of people who took both (i took both in year 1 and dropped chem). They do both get difficult at times, I think physics links more to maths tho beacuse of the mechanics in maths (if that's something your exam board does) is the same stuff in physics but if you don't really need either just choose the one that you enjoy more

Hi, Physics is better if you are more mathematical and enjoy solving hard problems, and if you want to possibly do an Engineering or Physics degree. But Chemistry is better if you enjoy both maths and memorising stuff
