I need to decide which to take next year, and I'll also be taking the SAT subject test for either physics or chemistry so I really need to make a correct decision.
Physics 12-
So far: I am getting around 85% in the course. I understand the content fairly well. I find that a small mistake can add up to a really big one on a test, and I make a lot of small mistakes.
Teacher for next year: He will be someone who preps me well for university, he basically will give his students the new formulas, one example, and then homework for practice.
Chemistry 12-
So far: I am in honors 11 and I find the course pretty difficult and most of the time I do not even know what I am doing. I am getting an 80% in the course.
Teachers for next year: Next year I'm going to drop honors and go into regular chem 12, I will either get a teacher who is bad at teaching but gives out easy tests; or a teacher who explains badly, but can be helpful if you ask her after class, and her tests are harder.
As a final note, I find I understand physics better (probably because the scenerios make sense and I can imagine it) but I hear people say that physics 12 is harder. I am trying to pick the course where I will score higher in. I don't care much about anything else as I am not going into science in the future. Currently, I am leaning more towards chemistry, I am hoping dropping out of honors will bring my mark up.
Please help, I need as many opinions as possible.
Thank you.
