Help! Need advice

Hello,

I'm considering doing biology,chemistry,psychology and physics in semester 1. Then in semester 2 i will do 2 breadth subjects and 2 core subjects (biology and psychology) and a summer subject (chemistry 2).

The problem im having, is the workload. Will semester 1 with those mentioned subjects be intense? Do you think this is a good idea?


ps. i need fundamentals physics for one of the GAMSAT section, probably will not continue with physics in semester2.

Thanks

The workload won't be too bad. Your timetable will be terrible, though, with 4 pracs.

Doing a summer subject will mean you have to do one less subject later (ie 3 subjects in a semester); it's not like an extra subject. You know that, right? Just checking.

I'd suggest swapping one of your breadth subjects with chem 2, so that you have chem 2 in semester 2 and a breadth subject in summer. That will be much easier to handle.
