I was in the exact same position last year, except i wanted to do chem of art, and my teacher was doing industrial. I did 1 period on my own, and i found teaching myself too hard, so i ended up going back to my class to do industrial.

Although I would say that if you want to do biochem then go for it. I mean if you ever have problems, you can always go ask you teacher for help.

Just think if you did what the rest of the class is doing, you would end up learning about 80-90% of the content at home, in your own study anyway. If you can convince one of your friends to do biochem with you then you can learn together, and I think that would make it easier.

Although, this is just my advice, I don't want to sway you one way or the other.
