Differences with psychology AQA(A) and AQA(B)What's the difference?
EDIT The reason I ask is becuase I really need a tutor, but they all just do AQA(A). I've been searching for one since this September, and am getting really desperate.
Is there really that much of a difference?Last edited by Kash:); 14-01-2010 at 09:33. -

Re: Differences with psychology AQA(A) and AQA(B)From what I gather, spec A focuses heavily on evaluating theory whereas spec B focuses heavily on evaluating methodology.
I did spec B at AS and managed to get full marks on one of the papers and 90% on the other; now I'm doing spec A (for A2) and I'm finding it so much harder.
Not many schools do spec B from what I've heard. -

Re: Differences with psychology AQA(A) and AQA(B)I'm doing AQA(B) distance learning, but next year I want to start at college, and they do AQA(A). I didn't know you could swap them for AS and A2.(Original post by Lit2010)

Re: Differences with psychology AQA(A) and AQA(B)You can't just because you decide to, but if you switch schools to one which does a different spec, then that's ok, but you need to inform the exam board so you can switch your grade over to the other spec. We're doing our A2 psychology through a different school to the one we did our AS psychology through, and we've been able to switch.(Original post by Kash:))

Re: Differences with psychology AQA(A) and AQA(B)I've done all that. I've contacted a few, and all of them say they only teach AQA A or that they have no spaces available.(Original post by 12look3)
Have you tried looking on tutorhunt online for a tutor they have many that should do Psychology?
just type it in google it should be the first result
Just can't find anyone
more scientific i would say.
