Biology, I enjoy the subject and the content is quite easy! However I also enjoy doing Chemistry, which is a prerequiste for a lot of careers!

Personally, I advice you to choose either Chem or Bio, if you dont plan on going anywhere near engineering! If your looking for a higher ATAR, then Biology is probably the most easiest way out. However if you want more career pathways, then DEFINITELY CHEMISTRY

Chemistry= More variety of careers
Biology= easier (then chem and physic, which is my opinion others may disagree)
 
Good luck!

Certainly Physics during high school. My favourite science subjects at uni have all been Earth science though, partly because I've had some excellent lecturers and partly because the pracs are only 2 hours and actually educational!

On a sidenote, physics is taught and organised badly at Melbourne.
The Finnish word pilkunnussija, which translates literally to “comma fucker,” is someone who risks his social wellbeing to annoyingly and persistently point out punctuation errors.

I think Bio is probably slightly better than Chem, both are good however. Not sure about Physics, because I haven't done it, but my friends don't particularly like the VCE curriculum for it. Bio is less competitive than Chem and Physics and would be easier to get a better study score, but Chem is a prerequisite for most science courses, Physics not so much unless you want to do Engineering.

personally i love physics, reason being is its just so awesome!!!! the concepts which are explored in physics are really intriguing, like light, motion (plug in into calc lol) , NUCLEAR PHYSICS!! ect....


also just to put it out there   IT'S THE MOTHER OF ALL SCIENCES!!!

Chem comes second for me, i like it but sometimes the stuff in there makes no sense whatsoever (Unit 3 to be exact) !!!

Bio wasn't my thing at first i liked it but when i fast tracked it in year 10, all those words  i had to remember (meiosis, mitosis, mitochondria vacuoles YUCK!!! ) Also it didn't help when the teacher was teaching us the wrong material at the time. but to be honest i didn't study much for it so i found difficulty with it, which was why i didn't do Unit 3&4 in year 11.

Physics:Counting squares for areas under curves. That sums up how bad it is.
Chemistry: I like chemistry. Now I know not to dip my finger in anything labelled 50M or higher.
Biology: I like biology but should get lots of RAM before doing it.

Physics is just the regurgitation of formulas in a 1.5hour exam every 3/4 months do not recommend

But its so much better at uni. Do you know how amazing physics is when you use CALCULUS? It's so awesome it makes me want to cry.

Biology :) Definitely the best subject! It discusses how organisms are able to survive, it can be visualised

Psychology is actually a science since it uses the scientific method even though it may be slightly biased at times and not accurate.
The part of psychology that is not science is the pseudosciences, psychics and other similar stuff.

My favourite would have to be biology, especially genetics and immune system which might be useful for me when I study in uni. Chemistry is also really useful and is interesting at times. Having done a bit of physics in year 10 (forces and motion and electricity and magnetism), I'd say those topics were just plain boring. (no offence to all physics lovers) Although I do find astrophysics very interesting, pretty much anything to do with planets and galaxies. :)

BIOLOGY
Extremely interesting, especially during Unit 3, where you learn about the body's own immune system and pathogens.

Absolutely adore biology (except for plant diversity). Biochemistry and organic chem is great, and physics is something I sort of enjoy even though I struggle with it.

Essentially, I <3 science.
