Just completed the first term of HSC and got 45% in my chem exam, how hard would it be to to change into senior science having missed the whole first term and quickly approaching the half yearlies?
I am dedicated towards learning its just I never really go on with chemistry and all the concepts
Hey Sharms! I didn't do Senior Science so I can't speak specifically, but I thought I'd give some advice regardless.
Changing subjects in the middle of your HSC is tough, and I daresay many schools would outright forbid it. In fact, I could be wrong, but it may not even be allowed since you won't complete the assessment requirements.
Even if you were able to arrange something with your school, I would personally still advise against it. Catching up on a term of work for Senior Science is more work than catching up on Chemistry. You've already invested time with Chemistry.
Although it may seem like Senior Science will be an easier choice, don't underestimate the difficulty of any HSC subjects. Senior Science is hard, just like Chemistry or Maths Extension 2. The content may be a little simpler in some respects, but the amount of work is fairly identical.
I recommend you stick it out. It will take, let's say, 20 hours of work to get some practice in and improve your Chem Results (perhaps jump on our
Chemistry Forums for some assistance! It will take at least 50 hours to catch up on Senior Science properly, do the missed assessments, etc. In the long run, I think it will be way better for you to stick it out.
