    I'm in 5th year and we just did the mole, I found it quite easy (got 100% in the test ;) ) but that's because our teacher explained it really well to us and she spent ages on it.
    I do 3 sciences and I'd say chemistry is the hardest but it's the most interesting in my opinion. If you're good at remembering lots of definitions and diagrams maybe consider biology? It gets kind of boring sometimes though. Physics is lovely too but I forget it quite easily (like I do with maths).

    You'd probably be better off getting a reply from a 6th year or someone who's finished the course, we've only done a few chapters, but it was one of the harder ones but not the hardest (?!) Chemistry seems very manageable so far though especially if you've an interest in it :) there doesn't seem to be a whole pile of learning off compared to other subjects, it's more about understanding.

    Chemistry is my easiest subject. You either find it easy, or badly struggle depending on what type of mind/brain you have

    I'm doing Thermochemistry in Physchem, and it's very easy. I've also done the mole chapter aswell.

    So far it's very easy, but I'm a mathy person so my heart thrives in numbers ;). I also do biology.

    I'm in 6th year and do all 3 sciences. Chemistry is my least favourite and in my opinion it's the hardest. It's a subject you can't rote learn for; you need to actually understand the concepts to do well.

    Yeah the mole calculations are used loads throughout the course, they become second nature after a while because you use them so much. The calculations do get more complex but honestly they're grand once you practice.
