For me physics is the hardest, but it's followed closely by chemistry. Methods is a walk in the park compared to those.
I blame my teacher for physics though, to an extent. He's a real dud. He knows what he's on about, but he really can't explain it for the life of him.

No it isn't boring, it's fun as! >:(
At least it's mostly applied to real life!

I can't believe my Chem scaled above my Physics. I was so much more confident in Physics all year (and after the Exam even).

I blame the VCAA model.

Physics was still more fun than Chem.

"Assume constant acceleration." "Assume friction/air resistance is negligible."
All these non-realistic assumptions makes physics annoying for me. It is never the case in real life.

perhaps you would be more annoyed if you were forced to calculate it properly =P

Physics is all about approximations for modelling though...

It's a matter of opinion i guess. I'm not saying physics is useless or anything, it's just my last preference of the three mentioned in the poll.
