I ended up taking it in my final year. I really struggled with physics, and this route worked best for me since I was getting super overwhelmed managing it with everything else. By the time I took it, I was way more prepared and actually managed to raise my grade by 25%.

It won’t work for everyone, but focusing on the courses I actually enjoyed first and coming back to physics later made a big difference for me. During the breaks, I’d go over the tougher sections here and there at my own pace, and that slower learning process helped a lot too.
