New AQA A spec people

Do you guys still do coursework, or not?

Looking at the new specification, it kind of suggests you do, however I've heard that "Psychology no longer has coursework". Perhaps this was about a different exam board.

Anyone know?

Cheers.

I'm on AQA (although not sure about the A or B bit) and we don't have coursework. Our teacher implied it had been removed from AQA completely :dontknow:

No coursework.

Hmm, Really? That's pretty bad.

Is this the old spec, then?

It mentions coursework, but perhaps it's not the new spec. Seems to be the latest one on their website.

AQA Psychology A: No coursework. Don't know about the spec but I'm studying it and there's definitely no coursework.

That's the old specification. The new AS only has two units in the AS and two units in the A2. This is the new specification.

Jesus. So they've pretty much made it a piece of piss then. Looking at the way they have changed the exams (Into silly little 3m questions instead of 30m essays), I would imagine most, if not all will get A's and make it much easier for those who don't bother to revise.

Silly. What a shame.

Oh well, ty.
