Chemistry HL or Physics HL


SATMadness

Recommended Posts

Currently I have to make the decision between Chemistry HL or Physics HL.

For me, I am pretty good at both subjects, however i definitely find myself using more time to study Physics.

My chemistry teacher has always had a reputation of being unorganised and not so good at teaching. However we have a really really good physics teacher.

I like physics better than chemistry, however i am quite concerned about the workload. This is because I have a lot of co-curricular activities, and have heard that physics Hl has a lot more work than chemistry.

I really could not make up my mind between the two. Can you please give me some suggestions?

What are you going to study, if you don't mind asking? It is important, because some of things in Physics HL are quite nice to know while studying engineering. Chemistry, in my school, is quite medicine-oriented, so I've found it absolutely useless for me.

No, both are not related. I am going to study Economics in university.

I think you should go with Physics. You like it more, which makes you more enthusiastic for the subject, so you'll be able to stick through the workload of Physics HL more than Chemistry HL and (from personal experience) you'd be able to learn the subjects you enjoy better. Enjoying your subjects increases the likelihood that you'll put in the time for work. You might as well enjoy your Higher subjects since they are Higher subjects. Plus, you'd have co-curriculars anyway if you were doing the IB Diploma.
