I hope I'm posting this on the correct forum.
He is not confident about this exam and is now panicking.
He doesn't need Physics for any of his college choices and I am confident he wont need the points as it is his poorest subject. College points are calculated from his six best subjects and Physics isn't one of them.
I am worried that, as he has not prepared for Ordinary level that he will be doing himself a disservice and end up failing in this subject if he changes. I think he would probably scrape a D, maybe a C, if he was lucky, with the paper in Higher level. Ultimatley I would like him to be comfortable and at ease with any choice he makes and hopefully to not reget it later.
My questions are:
What are the differences between the Higher level and Ordinary level papers?
Is Ordinary level the same course just less in depth than Higher level or is it a totally different course?
Thanks in advance for any info you can supply us with.
