The work load is heavy, but manageable if you start revising early in the year.

Depends what your strengths are. If you have a good grasp of the concept of Psychology and are good at research methods, then youll find the subject easier than someone who isn't as strong in such an area.

It all depends on which exam board you are doing as some have a set amount of case studies to remember..
But, in general, there will be quite a lot to memorise :smile:

I'd said there are some easy and some hard parts of the content, but generally it isn't too difficult. The one thing I would say is that I found the workload increased quite a lot in A2, but it wasn't a huge issue - you just have to start revising a bit earlier.

Within each case study you'll need to remember its aim, method, findings and conclusion. You'll also have to be able to evaluate it, sometimes using other mini case studies :smile:
