I think this is basically like OCR? Well, I didn't use any books for the most part- and the one I bought was specifically for OCR- unless you are doing Psychology and Health and/or Crime :erm:

(the first 3:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_b/203-7984670-1118327?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=+psychology+in+practice )

We had these books (but like I said didn't really use them): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Psychology-A2-OCR-Heinemann-Aqa/dp/0435806718/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220703649&sr=1-4

The Psychology In Practice books (second link) include many studies that you can use in the exams. I just used notes taken in class, so didn't really have much need for them, however they would be helpful if you will be doing most of your learning from books :yep:

Well then I guess I am going to use the one by Philip Banyard as its one of the only books in the links you told in my syallbus and its also included in its resource list as "particularly recommended" . So I guess its the rite choice, rite ?

Any idea if its easy or not ?
