Find a chemistry tutor in Heslington

A-level Chemistry and Maths challenge you in different ways, so "harder" depends on your strengths.

• Chemistry combines theory, calculations, and detailed factual recall. Around 20–30% of marks come from mathematical calculations.
• Maths focuses on abstract logical thinking and problem-solving. Less memorisation is needed compared to Chemistry.

Many students find Chemistry's volume of content harder to manage than Maths' abstract challenges.

In short: Chemistry = breadth of content; Maths = depth of reasoning.
