High School Physics/Chem
There is a lot of hype in my high school that chemistry becomes extremely hard in grade12, is that honestly true? Like in comparison to grade11, cause i found chemistry really easy in grade 11. Also with physics, is it a big jump from grade 11 to grade 12?

Nothing in high school is really that challenging...
But this forum isn't really for high school issues, and there is such variety between high schools that you're not likely to get any useful answers from here, unless you can find a first year who went to your high school in the last two years and took both courses and can compare.
Even then, that doesn't guarantee you will have the same experience. You will be taking the course regardless, so just hope for the best and form your own opinion.

Why are you posting questions in a University forum that have absolutely NO connections to McMaster at all?
If only there was someone near you that knew the differences between grade 11 and 12 chem/phys, and the topics/complexity of the material that you would be expected to learn in both years... i dunno, like a teacher? Nah a teacher would never be able to help you if you asked them now would they...

I found grade 12 chemistry more enjoyable than grade 11. Gr12 chem is not harder than gr11, maybe the same difficulty. Physics got a bit more interesting in grade 12 for me. But since I left high school I heard they changed some of the curriculum so it's better to ask someone you know who's in first year uni now.
