Should i take both physics 1B03 and 1L03?
i completed grade 12 physics and did ok (88%). im wondering if taking the L03 one would boost my mark since i already did grade 12 physics and would refresh my memory when i do the B03. taking both would also cover the component of having a full year of physics with a lab that some med school require. what do you guys think? im still looking at electives so if you know any easy courses to boost my gpa pls let me know

No, it wouldn't because 1L03 has no lab. So you'd need 1B03 and 1BB3, so I think taking 1L03 isn't useful in your case. That, and 88% means you have a good grasp on the material, so it would just be a waste of $500 in my opinion .

i dont even think 1l03 prepares you for 1b03 anyways. gr 12 does a better job.

Just take 1b03 and 1bb3 if you want to fulfill med school requirements. As for 'easy' electives, that's all relative. I say, take something you enjoy, and you will excel in it. I took econ 1b03, and one of my worst marks. This was because I did not enjoy the material at all.
