Is Psychology a 'weak' subject at A level and Degree level?

Yeah, I'd say that a lot of the concepts/theories are pretty alright to grasp. An excess of dopamine could lead to Schizophrenia.

It's number of different proofs and synoptic understanding you need to show that make it a more demanding topic.

The A Level isn't exactly easy. There's a reason that 100% UMS is often around 55/75 marks.

Well.....I do it for AS with while doing A2s in Further Maths, Physics and Chem. It's the "easiest" to understand, but it's the only subject I ever do homework for, and I got the lowest module result for it in January out of all my subjects, despite putting the most hours of revision in.

I'm surprised at that, any idea why?

I've heard in others posts that Psychology is not considered a strong subject. What are your opinions on this? keep bias to a minimum!

Reasons would be great!

Psychology is one of the most flawed disciplines in the academic world. It's also done a lot of evil stuff.

If you are planning to study Psychology at any university then of course it wouldn't be considered a weak subject at A-level! - the same goes for History of Art, RS (for Theology) or Government and Politics (for Politics). However, if you take Psych A-level and don't intend to do a degree in it then you may need to justify it in your Personal Statement. I study Art as an A-level and have had no problems getting offers for English, I think that's because I justified it well enough in my PS.

It's probably because Psychology isn't as much of an x leads to y leads to z kind of subject, as many of the traditional 'harder' science subjects are. There's more skirting around, deliberation, argument and justification needed when trying to make a point in Psychology.

edit: I might add that some people just find that a very difficult skill to maser.

A level is really easy, can't say about degree. But I would defintely say a level is weak as it doesn't take much effort at all.

I agree with you to an extent. I don't believe the A level is REALLY easy, some people find it really hard because they lack the evaluative skills. I think it takes effort though, hence the grade boundaries being rock bottom at the moment.

I would hardly describe memorising an arbitrary list of "methodological evaluations" as requiring skills.

I wouldn't personally say so, no.
There is a lot of memorization required to get a decent grade. It's not a subject you can just sort of walk in to, and know what you're doing.

I think many people still think that psychology is 'Reading minds' or 'Mind games' or 'Magic tricks'. No, we don't all want to be Derren Brown.
(Obviously Oxbridge don't hold this opinion, one would assume they knew what it entailed)

Chemistry, Physics and maths are arguably more conceptually demanding, but there's no bloody content in them at all.
