    I'm pretty good at maths (my strongest topic is algebra) and recently I realised I had an interest in Physics, but I'm wonderin is LC Physics hard??? I want to be a Vet when I'm older, I would do Biology but I completely despise the plant section of Biology

    It doesn't really matter, once you get to college they will tell you to forget it all. Do whatever you find interesting.

    Biology is very content heavy subject, most people don’t realise that when they take it for leaving cert. If you like learning a lot of finicky details about every aspect of each part of the body then do it!

    Many of my friends who do Physics find the course load to be much lighter and those who are good at maths, really enjoy the subject. It is hard but if you’re good at maths you’ll get it all in the end!

    It's really not advisable to go into Veterinary without having taken Biology for Leaving Cert... it's not a course requirement but generally speaking those who have not taken it struggle much more with the course than those who have.

    Definitely recommend Physics, especially if you have some interest in it now. That interest will only grow the more you learn

    What about Physics and Biology? Chemistry and/or biology would be good for veterinary.

    Definitely take biology for LC, it gives you the basic foundations for the first and second year physiology and anatomy. If you're interested in physics, take it. The easier subjects and the ones you will do better in are the ones you are interested in.
