well she got same grade for her geog and chem in o levels. she's worried she can't cope as she's afraid theres too much content to memorise. furthermore all her friends are planning sic stream which may influence her.

My DD took Hybrid combi - History n Chem n both are 'sion' subjects.

In JC, regardless of Science or Art subjects, they are equally heavy content - no running away.

how sion is sion? are they both H2? which jc is your dd from if you don't mind sharing

I won’t say the subjects are equally heavy, rather they can be equally challenging depending on the student’s strengths and weaknesses. A quantitative person will have a relatively easy time doing double maths and physics, while some others have it relatively easy by doing literature and other humanities. Of course, there are those who find any subject ok and the opposite.


However, there are typically content-heavy subjects. History and geography in particular. DD1 took geography and told me students are discouraged from tsking history and geography H2 together. Biology is also perceived as content-heavy.

I’d say, know yourself and choose wisely. It can make a world of difference between an enjoyable school life or a painful slog.
