Just wondering.....
How different is the HSC Physics course to the preliminary course, in the aspects of interest, difficulty, workload, mathematics involvement, etc....from a student's perspective?

Thanks

The HSC physics course is more interesting, with much better topics. There's also maybe just a little but less on the mathematical side, I can't exactly remember. The tests for the HSC course are very much based on concepts rather than calculation. Very little of any exam is calculation. I'd recommend you keep Physics if you are thinking of dropping it.

I think the HSC is harder than the prelims, especially if u don't have a good understanding of the prelim course, u'll stuggle. But I do agree that the HSC is more interesting. :D
