About psychology a level

Hello :smile: I'm currently in year 11 and I've been considering studying psychology in a level and I have a few questions for anyone who may have studied it. What topics do you study in year 12 and 13? How many exams do you take? Is there coursework? Thanks

It depends on the exam board. I took 2 in year 12 and 2 in year 13 but I think due to the spec changing there will be 3 exams at the end of year 13. There was no coursework for me.

I've actually really really enjoyed it 😃 It is hard and there is a lot of facts to remember and the essay structure can be a little difficult to get the hang of but I've learned so much stuff and I have enjoyed learning it.
generally for less able students
