Doing psychology A-Level without doing it for GCSE?

I am thinking about doing psychology A-Level however I haven't done it for GCSE, I was wondering if this would be too difficult or if there is some kind of a starter course you can do!?

I never did it at GCSE (didn't have the option!), neither did any of my classmates or anyone I know at my college studying it for that fact, and we all found it was alright going straight into A Level!

Psychology's one of the subjects where they anticipate that not many people will have taken it for GCSE, so it's not required.
Otherwise there'd be a lot of empty classrooms :biggrin:

Nah, we never got it at GCSE but LOADS of people did it for A-level.
They kind of expect it as well I think, that's why they ease you into the course :smile:

Thank you!
