IB SL Biology, Chemistry, or Physics?

I took SL chem last year, and found it pretty difficult, but that doesn’t hold much weight since my school does very badly on the IB tests (only 2 people in the class passed…). I think if you were good enough and interested in normal chem you would do fine. I am in SL Physics and it does not require you to have a high level of math (there is no calculus involved), but it does require you to be pretty good at algebra, manipulating equations and such. I think you would do just fine, especially since it sounds like you would be having a great teacher. As for bio, there is no reason to do it if you aren’t interested, which it kind of sounds like. I know that they do not do dissections at my school but I have not taken the class or know much about it so I don’t know if that is the norm at other places.
Overall, if you really do like chem the best, you should go for it!
