    Really? Is there long hours during the week, like how many hours of labs would have to be done?

    1st year there's one lab session a week for biology and one for chemistry.
    You have to do either maths or maths methods in 1st year. If you're doing higher level maths then maths methods is very easy, I left it after about 4 weeks to do maths which is also pretty easy with a little work. Maths lasts the full year while Maths Methods only runs til Christmas.
    It's not a whole lot of hours a week but there's a lot of long gaps, useful for wandering. :pac:

    Maths Methods only runs to Christmas so ya can do another subject after Christmas, Maths runs the full year. Maths Methods is much easier as well.

    Honest to god, first day of maths methods they went through addition and subtraction. You'd have to try to fail.

    Maths Methods is a lot easier.

    Science is pretty deadly but there are long gaps between a lot of the lectures which can be annoying, but something like that shouldn't really be a factor in your decision.
    Not to derail the thread but what's the story with a Maths Methods exam? Do we get one at the end of the college year like all other exams, or do we get one after Christmas?
