S6 Subject Choices

I am hoping to study vet medicine at university and am currently doing my highers. I am doing bio, chem, English, maths and history and am sitting at AAAAB in my prelims.
I also have apps of maths and physics at N5 both at A.
I need to take 3 subjects in S6 and will be doing biology and chemistry at advanced higher. I am looking at either taking higher physics, crashing either higher RMPS or taking higher politics as my third subject and I am leaning towards physics.
Is a combination of AH Bio/Chem and H Physics too much? I don’t want physics to compromise my AHs which I need BB in.

I’d recommend not picking Physics unless if you are already comfortable with the course at National 5, this is because it is not only developing on new stuff from Nat 5 but also adding a lot more concepts which are kinda confusing. There are definitely overlaps between higher physics and AH Chemistry.
I think overall, if you don’t have to pick it, then don’t. The subject is quite difficult due to the sheer amount of stuff you need to memorise and be able to use, most of my class didn’t do particularly well on the Physics prelim. If you are a quick learner, I think picking it would definitely interesting! Otherwise, I personally wouldn’t recommend it :P

I got an A in my N5 physics exam- 75% to be exact!! My bother is that i feel like because i know i will want to do well, I won’t be able to prioritise the other subjects but crashing a higher would also be pretty hard. Although there is no pressure on me to get an A or B if i were to take it, im so stuck!! Thank you for your advice

Hi, I don’t know anything about Higher Politics, but my friends crashed Higher RMPS this year and I did Higher Physics last year (AH this year). Between the two of them there’s obviously not one that’s absolutely harder, it will obviously depend on whether you’re better at writing essays or understanding often mind-boggling physics concepts. If it were me, I would take physics but that’s because I found higher humanities subjects to be a nightmare at higher, but you might be the opposite of that. I’m sure you’ll have heard about the crazy number of essays RMPS students have to write in an exam, but maybe you would appreciate having some time in your timetable dedicated to thinking in a non scientific way. I took Higher History last year, any my friends who are taking RMPS say that the two subjects are similar in terms of essay structure and skills involved, so if you’re good at history you’ll probably be good at RMPS too.
I will say though, I’m currently taking a vauguely similar set of subject as you are considering for next year, AH physics maths and chemistry, and I haven’t found the workload to be as intense as people made out it would be. It’s obviously a step up, but not unmanageable. Based on your current grades, I think that you would be able to manage higher physics along with your other AHs. Also, I know you’re not crashing higher physics, but my other friend who is doing a similar set of subjects as you did crash it this year and she’s said she’s managing well, so it’s definitely possible.
I hope you find advice that is helpful!

dont do rmps becuase its not very valuable for stem or medicine. Politic is useful for law but for stem its pretty useless.
RMPS is very easy and makes sense why you want to choose but its subjective nature makes it an insignificant choice.
Higher physic is good but comparatievely higher math is more valuable. MAth is the father of science core stem subjects which is why univeristy generally find math to be more valuable
conclusiverlu my analysis conclude PICK Advanced higher BIOLIGY AND CHEMISTRY and crash higher MATH
