Physics by a fair bit. The only science subject that requires more effort than physics is chemistry.

^ That's arguable, VCE Physics is pretty easy to do well in lol, I'd say Biology has more.

Physics is harder but biology has more workload.

Biology in my opinion

Done Year 12 physics, doing Uni Bio - Biology requires more time and effort than physics, physics requires more skills :P

I did bio last year and I am doing physics this year, and so far I reckon bio has a lot more stuff to remember whereas physics involves a few concepts which you have to manipulate in order to answer the question :P

Not reeeallly...

If you include the relevant words / definitions in your answers and make the appropriate links, you'll get the marks. It can be very ambiguous at times, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it subjective.

Honesty, the workload depends on how much you want to work and how much you enjoy the subject. No-one can give you a definite answer, both require work.

I don't think any subjects are subjective. In all subjects, you have a certain set of criteria which you have to fulfil. If you fulfil all of them, you will get all of the required marks. There are always some little grey areas in all subjects, even mathematics.

If you look at the statistics though, and one of my teachers last year was an examiner for English, also friends with the Chief Examiner, and he basically says that within VCAA, it's actually quite well known that mathematics subjects (which are meant to be black and white) actually have more deviation (two examiners giving a different score for an entire paper) than the English exam.

Also your capacity, some people will just do better in biology, some in physics
