Are these hard choices for S5/Highers?

I’m taking maths, English, bio, chem, and physics. Some of my teachers have told me that this would be really hard but idk I’m scared lol

lol we're taking exactly the same but for me plus modern studies.my teachers told me it would also be difficult, and it won't be easy at all, they gave me advice to always work hard and just practice past papers and do as much revision I can as soon as possible. Btw are you crashing any of your subjects, I'm not.

Hi! I take all the same subjects as you, but human bio instead of bio. What I will say is the responses to my choices by my teachers wasn't exactly positive, but I went ahead with it anyways and I don't regret it 🙂 As long as you have high As at N5, it shouldn't be much of a step up. I particularly enjoy maths and physics this year, and organic chemistry is quite interesting imo.

If you find them alright at Nat 5 then I don't see a problem.

I think that will be a lot of hard work, I think that higher human biology is one of the easiest highers, I’m not sure if regular biology is the same. Chem and maths are super challenging but if you out your mind to it you’ll succeed. As long as you start revising early and make sure you always ask fir help and show up for study support, you’ll be grand.
