Chemistry SL vs Psychology SL

Recommended Posts

Which of these subject mentioned are easier to study at SL? I want to study Law or Engineering at university.

The subjects I am sure of is:

Maths HL

Physics HL

Economics HL

English Lang&Lit SL

Swedish SL

Which subject would be the best to choose? I am not so interested in any of them so I don't really care which of them I choose. Or do you have any other ideas what subject I could choose at SL?

Psych has one IA which involves you replicating a study (as for 2014) -> From what I've heard from other students, you learn nearly the same as HL but just have one less exam to sit.

Chemistry requires you to hand your 6 best IAs: 2 designs, 2 data collecting and processing and 2 conclusion and evaluation. (just like any experimental science HL or SL, sounds like a lot of work but you're gonna do that for Physics anyways) -> You learn only SL stuff.

Which one is easiest is only for you to determine. This depends on what your strengths are, how good of a teacher you have, and how much time you commit to the subject. We don't know what kind of a student you are. If you're able to memorize case studies and write a decent essay, then you will probably do well in psych. If you're able to do basic math and like to solve problems, then you'll probably do well in SL chem.
