I'm doing Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) and i'm thinking choosing a physics course next semester. Can anyone list the pros and cons of doing physics and higher physics? How harder is higher physics? Is higher physics worth doing considering that i'm doing math?

Well are you good at Physics or like it? Then take Higher. You can always drop down.

It's exactly the same course, you even go to the same lectures. Only difference is you get a harder final exam and more tute questions.

Physics 1A is already crazy hard without higher Physics 1A.

imo, don't do higher if you don't specifically have to, unless of course, you're interested in putting yourself through higher phys

I'm only taking it because I would like to have some physics knowledge under my belt. But if they're the same except the final then i guess i'm taking the lower one then :/
