Definitely chemistry – I found it really hard to remember all the facts we had to learn. Come to think of it I wasn’t very good at maths either – and it was only because of a really amazing maths teacher called ‘Brab’ Smith that I finally got the hang of maths.
I liked physics best because you only had to learn a few basic principles, like Newton’s laws of motion, or Ohm’s law relating voltage, current and resistance, and then you could work everything else out from them.

in all my subjects, I always had quite a lot of trouble remembering names of people and things. So I found subjects like physics and maths the easiest and languages and history the hardest. In science both biology and chemistry had quite a lot things to memorize.

I found maths hard. But it is very very useful so I am learning a lot now!

I thought physics was pretty hard. Especially when I got to the higher levels and differential equations. Most of the time I understood the concepts, but didn’t really like the equations. I figured that since I didn’t want to be a physicist, if I ever needed the equations I could look them up, then get my computer to do them. I don’t see the point of memorizing equations, so long as you know how to use them and why. I’m also not very clear on the whole relativity thing….why does time slow down if we go faster ? Why should light speed be the fastest we can go ? These just don’t make sense to me.

I found physics the hardest, learning equations and stuff. I also really didn’t enjoy it and so this made me not really want to try harder with it, so I just took biology and chemistry for standard grades (GCSEs).
