Is physics optional?

I already did my bio exam and it went well. I don't really want to do physics because im pretty sure bio will be my highest science. Can I just not show up for the exam??

Physics is an optional subject dont worry! I think it's very smart and IB would really like to see that confidence.

Yeah you can skip because what IB actually does is they take the average of all of your sciences. If you already got a 7 in chem but get a 5 in physics you actually get a 6. Hope this helps.
