Question
Hello. I am a Junior at my high school. I am passing my Math and Chemistry classes with good grades, but my Math is better than my Chemistry. I am very good at Math and Biology, as I am in Chemistry but I would say I am much better at Biology and Math than Chemistry. My question is this: Which classes should I be focusing on, and working harder at to understand?

Answer
All of them! They are all important for medicine and any of the sciences. You will need the math for physics in college. Biology and chemistry are both important for obvious reasons. Just keep working at them.
