Which one do you pre med students think is harder?

 

[chillaxbro]

I personally thought physics was harder, especially electromagnetism stuff.
Gen chem was easy peasy

This except redox reactions. Hated those.

Im gonna go with physics. I actually enjoyed chem.

I'm gonna say physics as well, although every physics and gen chem concept the MCAT will test you on will be pretty conceptually simplistic (i.e. no calc-based problems).

Chem was harder for me to conceptualize and learn, but physics took way more time due to all the HW my professor assigned.

same, but i had way more fun learning chemistry and im in organic chem now, i could care less about what happens to a ball when you throw it off a cliff 😴

Physics was way easier just because of all the homework. Lots of homework = lots of practice for tests. I also took it as a sophomore/junior.

Chem had like a homework assignment due every other week that was super long. Because I was a freshman at the time, I of course put it off and had to end up rushing to finish it. That left no time to learn the material and made the class much more difficult. That, and XBox live was just too much fun my freshman year.

they both suck. Orgo is the best

I agree. I really like orgo, I just wish I wouldnt have to take it for a grade that could affect my future. That is what makes it stressing sometimes.

But yeah, orgo can be fun.

I wouldn't say either of them were hard, but if only given the choice I would go with physics. Part of the issue had more to do with how the tests were structured at my school IMO.

I loved organic. It was so interested compared to general chemistry.
