should i crash higher 2 sciences?

7

so im in S4 and about to pick my S5 options soon and i was thinking how challenging would it be to crash 2 sciences? so far for nat 5 im doing math,english,art,biology,french,history and graphics and possibly for S5 do math,english,biology,physics and chemistry or would that be too difficult?

As someone also in S4 who picked all sciences this year, I think it would be VERY challenging and stressful. You also have to think about how you'll balance it with your other subjects, because in S5 you will have loads of work to do. You can crash 3 sciences if you really want to dedicate your time and effort and if you're resilient,but I'll advice you to take 2, you can take the 3rd science in S6 as a higher.
I was also thinking about taking 3 sciences in S5 and I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I cant speak for physics but i can for chemistry. A lot of H chemistry builds upon N5 knowledge, its not impossible to do it but it will be hard, more so if you're also crashing higher physics.

Hi, I do Maths, English, Human Bio, Chem and Physics at Higher, after doing them at N5. It is admittedly difficult, especially Physics if you haven’t done it at n5, as a lot of the content builds on your knowledge from it. I would say that crashing Highers in s5 is a bad idea, as those are the Highers that matter to unis and you want to get the best possible results in them. So, try and pick subjects that you are interested in and know you will achieve well in, and crash a Science Higher in S6 🙂
