      Hey,

      It depends on what you’re good at.
      With science, the answer tends to be correct or incorrect, and the questions tend to be shorter, which I think makes it easier than other subjects, where you might have to write a long essay containing a balance pf both opinions on the question, like in English.
      In science exams, often you can work out an answer too, you don’t always have to know it from the beginning.

      I didn’t think so. Except for biology. The rest is just learning a few concepts and applying these. If you understand these basic concepts it’s not difficult, if you don’t, you have to study a lot and it is hard.

      Hi,

      It depends on what you like! You will probably enjoy the exam of the science you like the most as you will most likely understand it better.
      If there’s a particular science you don’t enjoy as much then I would study that a bit more and try to find bits you like about it.

      Science questions will also give you a hint as to what they want you to talk about so if you make sure you read the question really well then it will be easier to answer.
