Which is easier, in your opinion?

Which is easier, in your opinion?

Chemistry, since there is less memorization than A&P.

A&P unless you excel in math

It depends on your weaknesses and strengths. I dislike math and find the human body more interesting, therefore I think A & P is easier (just more time consuming). Answers to this sort of question will be subjective.

I don't mind math. Taking Elem. Algebra now and doing well, not fond of word problems:) I graduated from a tech school for RMA and had 4.0. So we had biology and A&P in school, but that was 12 years ago and since I made more money working in a law office I didn't stay in the medial field that long. I do review tons of medical records so some things I do remember, and I'm hoping having taken those courses will give me an advantage. But I'm not holding my breath. lol

Both require some memorization but A&P has more. It also requires plenty of critical thinking. People who are good at math tend to do well in chemistry. Which class is easier depends on your strengths.

I am good at math but didn't do well in chemistry, I survived but was failing most of the term until I was able to get some intense tutoring. I loved A&P and did really well, I ended up tutoring other students in A&P.

Chemistry is easier (speaking only of Chem I). I used and saw math daily in my previous career so Chem was pretty similar. A&P requires a different learning mindset. A&P II is pretty hard. But I love both subjects.

I find A&P to be easier, as to me, it is much more straightforward.

A&P is much easier to me than Chemistry is...I suck at math, but I'm good at memorization.
