      Hi,
      I think if you enjoy a subject then you don’t think about it as hard. If you are enjoying the parts of your science courses related to biochemistry then it is probably a good option. It is also a good all-round subject so is relevant to many careers.
      It has to be said that a lot of the exams/coursework is essay-based which is good if you enjoy this style. Chemistry for example is about half and half essay based questions to more short answer/scheme/calculation based questions.
      My advice is to consider what you enjoy as well as what you think may be a good career option – you will be studying the subject for 3/4 years.
      Good luck choosing.
      Jo
