What should I do??

[tedescostudent]

Hey guys, needing some advice. So while I was doing some FM, I realised that I don't enjoy the subject. I'm a year 12 next year that picked it up due to being easier to get a higher score in it. I think I still could get a decent score in it, but I simply don't enjoy studying it. Anyways, I should also note that I'm doing Bio, Chem, Eng Lang and MM already, and was about to chose psychology, health or physics, but i didn't. Mainly because I thought this was going to be easier, and because less memory was needed, as I'm doing Bio, Chem and Eng lang already. But now I'm reconsidering and wouldn't mind some advice, should I pick another subject, if so what would you recommend me if I'm looking for a relatively easy, interesting and little workload subject. I should also note that Biology is a fun subject for me, the only downfall is that it needs a lot of commitment and work compared to chemistry for example. Thanks ! Sorry if this is in the wrong place, cheers xx

I found psych really interesting and not that hard to understand. There is some overlap between the bio course and the psych course (nervous system, endocrine system). I found it useful to study for both at the same time by just looking things up writing notes and seeing where that would take me.

I've done the introduction week to health and I don't like it (on a side not I also did further and did not like it). Psych is quite content heavy - not so much as bio - but to a certain extent some of it is common sense.

Psych is fairly content heavy, but I found it to be less so than biology. Most of the concepts are quite easy to understand, there are a few that are more complicated but nothing too difficult. The most difficult thing is answering exam questions in the correct way to gain full marks but if you complete lots of practice exams you should be fine. Honestly I would say its a fairly easy subject, I didn't study all that much for it throughout the year- maybe a few days before each sac and then lots of revision and practice questions in the couple weeks leading up to the exam. Most of the course can be rote learned so having a good memory helps. There is one area of study in the mental health section that requires a SAC but is not examinable.. otherwise everything else usually shows up in the exam to some extent! Because its a popular subject I've heard scoring very highly can be difficult but in my opinion, if you put sufficient work into it its fine! Hope this helps
