Relatively the same, I think. Depends on your detailed study - mine was Sound (Piss easy).

You kinda get into the deeper more mysterious side of physics. Magnetic fields and early quantum mechanics, some pretty crazy ideas to think about (but also trivialised in the context of vce). I thought sound was a bit of a drag, but that might just be because there's not much to it.

Overall, more enjoyable than unit 3.

unit 4 was alright, but a bit abstract without learning the fundamentals, i personally did it for the sake of doing it.

ive been doing this routine since swat voc started, during uni i was still a bit nocturnal (sleep 4-5am wake 2-3pm) but not as bad as now, been studying all the time except for the usual dinner breaks and tutoring lessons.

well actually i wont be studying consecutive tonight coz ill be watching australia in world cup, but other nights should be fine.

To be honest, I found unit 3 more interesting with kinematics.  Unit 4, as TT said, is more abstract and I guess waves and light aren't my best friends and since we don't get along, we had a hard time in the lead up to the exams and during the exam, we pretty much had a brawl.

Unit 4 is all new unfamiliar stuff, I didn't understand very much of it when I read it the first time, whereas Unit 3 is mostly Unit 1/2 Stuff.

We got to play with magnets...but that's boring, I want to study nuclear stuff again, should be unit 4 rather than 1.

I hope this gets more interesting.

The hand rules make me feel un-coordinated :(.
