      ‘Hardness’, or difficulty, is a very tricky thing to define. Probably the best way of saying it is ‘which one is the most work’ – if you do the work, things will come easily!
      Of the three of them, I would say that they all need you to work at them. That said, all other subjects need you to work at them. I would find Medieval History very hard, but that is because I haven’t done the work for it – but then I don’t really want to do the work for it, so I will always find it hard.

      When making decisions, it all depends what you want to put the work into – if you want to do the work, if you enjoy doing the work, then whatever you work at you will find easy. I enjoyed doing all the sciences, so the ‘work’ didn’t really feal like work; I didn’t enjoy doing Geography, so the work needed felt like work, I didn’t enjoy doing the work, and I then found Geography to be difficult.

      Biology and chemistry are science! But I am a biologist, so I think chemistry is harder! It depends what you like and what you are good at I suppose!

      First of all thank you for recognising that Physics=Science! One of my favourite quotes is:

      “Physics is the only real science. The rest are just stamp collecting.” – Ernest Rutherford

      a brilliant quote from the man who essentially discovered the nucleus of atoms.

      I think that it would be wrong to say that any one science if more difficult than the next because it is a very personal thing. Even within the three major fields of science some people find themselves better at some areas than others. But I do have to say that Physics id the most wide ranging of the sciences and therefore everyone seems find some aspect of physics hard. But if you keep looking you may find an area of physics you are naturally good at – I did.

      In my opinion, physics, but thats because I study biology and chemistry daily and so am more used to them!
