should i switch to psychology HL instead of SL

[loba]

hello all,

i currently take psychology SL and i have a 7/7 in it (99/100) without scale

i also take chemistry HL and i have 5/6 in it (70/100) 

im a diploma arts student so chemistry is the only science i take. i do really good on all of my subjects except chemistry.

 

i was thinking of switching from psychology SL to HL and lowering the chemistry to SL should i?

its mid year now but i read the psychology syllabus and it doesnt seem as hard as chemistry HL at least to me, but the thing is that my school is not experienced in psychology HL id be the first student to take it :/ 

 

what do you advise me?

 

thanks

I do HL psych and it's awesome - it's just a lot more content. If you enjoy psychology and dislike chemistry, then definitely doing something more enjoyable will be easier to learn! 

 

Even if you are the only student, everything you need to potentially teach yourself HL psychology is online. To be honest, I use online resources more than my teacher and do well.

I'm doing Psych HL, and I must say that there is little difference between HL and SL. It has only one paper more than SL and it is methodology, which is rather easy, especially after the course (or when you're done with the core anyway). So if you find chemistry hard, and it won't be useful to you in any way- I'd switch the subject.

definitely... switch your psycho to HL and Chemistry to SL..

I've heard the same from everyone who takes Chemystery; Psychology is definitely easier, and online resources will help you more than your teacher anyway, as lucettafetta said.
