physics because its the closest to maths and motion is alright...
Haha, I liked VCE Physics for everything except the calculations - they're fun at the start and the formulas/laws are neat - but you have to admit, most of the time in VCE Physics it's just "plug and chug" type questions, which by exam-time gets a bit old (there are a selection of interesting calculation questions that come your way though).
I liked the subject more so because it teaches the way we attempts to explain the behaviour of things in the world, which is quite interesting. For the most part, I preferred Unit 4 over Unit 3, I found that there was a lot more depth to the ideas there and there was stuff there that really made you think about things.
The textbooks are kind of dense, and they're a pretty poor source of information if you're using it solely, but in conjunction with a teacher to give you initial guidance in the right direction, other resources (mainly the internet) and spending quite a bit of time thinking about the theory the content is easy enough to wade through.
If the content doesn't catch your interest though, it'll probably be a great bore and struggle to get through.
Chemistry is also pretty good. I prefer how the exams for Chemistry are set out over the exams for Physics, and there's quite a lot of interesting questions you come across (well exam-style is changing next year, we'll have to see if Physics keeps its sectioned style or not).
I can't really think of much to say really. As you study the content, I found most of the ideas begin to become, to an extent, very natural to you (e.g. stuff like organic chemistry). There's also a lot of practicals to do, quite a lot more than you do in Physics, which is always fun. The content itself is quite well linked from Units 1 to 4, it continues to build off itself consistently, rather than being
somewhat disjointed like Physics.
I can't comment on biology other than I really know very little about biology, the most I know about it (other than general knowledge stuff) is the stuff covered in Unit 3 chemistry about proteins, DNA etc. which I found quite interesting actually.
