    unless you can get an ag science teacher, that is teaching ag science in your school or in another school to take you on (and grade your project) forget it.

    not true. economics is very easy to pass but very hard to do well in. take it from somebody who was a very good economics student for two years and didnt do very well at the exam (along with everybody else in the country that did last years economics paper).

    If your good at chemistry, I recommend doing physics. They are related (That is not to say physics is easy!). If you are good at grasping concepts and formulae in chemistry. then physics would be doable.

    Could you expand on that? I don't really understand what you mean. Is it because there's alot of revision to do, because they're marked hard?

    There were five A's in my school last year and I'm finding it relitavely comfortable so far.
