4U physics is not very hard, it's all simplified and formulaic - almost memory work. no hard math, straightforward work.

At least for me, Physics wasn't about the math, or about memorization, it was about understanding the question and formulating the right procedure to solve the question (ie. problem solving).

high school english classes, obviously. not english the language

Again, it really depends on the teacher and what you make of it. I found high school English pretty fun, though a bit boring at times. As a result, I did really well in it.
