I'm not sure what subject to do

Hi. I'm a year 10 students preparing a course selection which happens tomorrow :'(
Thing is I know that I'm going to choose English, Maths Methods and Physical Education. But other than that, I got no idea.
I not too bad at science and enjoy a little but not my favourite. I'm planning to choose at least 1 of the science subjects (bio, psychology, chemistry and physics).
Honestly, I don't know what I want to be after school but I gonna finish year 12 for sure.
Any suggestion on the subjects?

Bri MT:
what's your favourite/least disliked part of science? Why do you want to study a science subject?

Based on the info you've provided the only thing I can think of is that biology somewhat links to PE and physics somewhat links to methods.

Good luck!

thought I would let you know that VCE science is way more different to previous years,
especially as the content is much more interesting and engaging, as well as organised and practical.

Chemistry and Physics  also fulfils a lot of prerequisites whereas most universities don't list the other science's as prerequisites.
However both bio and psych are really interesting subjects as well.

good luck

Thank you all for the replies. My favourite subject is math, pe and science. My least favourite subject would probably be humanity. I really liked chemistry last semester but as the subject changed and now I'm in "Intro to VCE Chemistry and Physic", it's way challenging than I thought it would be and I lost interest.
My brother is currently doing biology u1 and 2 and he said it's one of his favourite subjects and it's not that challenging. However, I'm worried that the university courses in most cases will require a good study score in either chemistry or physic, not bio.
I really like math and I heard that Physic is very mathematic based, but is it engaging and enjoyable?

In my experience, physics and chemistry don't get much easier conceptually but it might be than you're struggling more due to the shift into VCE rather than because the content is intrinsically difficult for you

Biology is very conceptually challenging for some and less so for others - but if you and your brother are quite similar that might be a good gauge. In my experience, lots of university courses just require "a science" and don't specify which. Afaik, usually if a specific one is needed it's chemistry - I have only rarely seen physics as a mandatory prereq.

Physics in real life is very maths based, in VCE it's less math-based because they can't assume everyone studying it has studied methods (methods does still help/link to it anyway). Whether it's engaging or enjoyable can vary a lot between people. It might be worth quickly going through the overview on the study design to see if the topics interest you.
