    I don't know if I should take up physics or try something like buiness instead. I'm in honours maths and am currently doing geog bio and chem. I love bio nd chem and i'm really bad at langauges. I'm hoping for high points so I'm aiming for as many A's as possible basicly, any thoughts?

    If you find honours maths ok, go for it!

    Physics exam has a lot of choice, so you can leave out certain sections and still get an A1. (e.g. Light)

    There are others which are very important though (e.g. Mechanics, you should find it ok as you do hon. maths)

    Is it a very long course? And are there any books you recommend? And is there somewhere I can watch the experiments do you know? Thank you :)

    They're all on Youtube.
    That said, you dont really need to watch them, I've never seen most done.

    I would reccomend Real World Physics [Folens/ Dan O Regan]

    You need your foreign language as an entry requirement for basically everything though...

    D3 in OL usually satisfies that ;)

    Yeah i know, I'm still in all honours - Irish, French and English. I just hate irish and don't really like english and I'm not too good at french, but I'm going to school in France in July(as one of those summer course things) so I should be fine for that :)
