Yes, I would definitely recommend it!
The topics in year 11 include thermodynamics(heat stuff), the universe, forces and motion, electricity.
Year 12 is forces and motion, electricity, special relativity, light and waves.
The questions are mainly either using formulas, where you plug numbers into and find an answer, or use problem solving skills with the equation, or they are questions that are asking you something to test your knowledge on a particular concept and how or why something occurs.
I reckon its a really cool subject because you can learn why things happen and how various things work! It's important if you want to do engineering.

I am so late but - no.
I am currently doing physics unit 2 and very unhappy about it :(( I was gonna drop it at unit 1 but I was like I’m just gonna suck it up.

It’s up to people’s liking honestly! The topics are as the user above mentioned. I don’t know if I find the topics very boring or whether my teacher’s very boring.

I’d say, if you don’t truly need it then don’t take it :(
