Is anyone else doing WJEC exam board for Psychology this year?

My school was doing AQA A but we got a new teacher and she is doing WJEC now. Is WJEC better or harder? Anyone done psychology with this board? Whats it like?

I was told psychology was supposed to be hard to get good grades and no one does get good grades in my school but I dont want it made any harder because the board is harder. I heard that the coursework has been taken out of the subject. Just worried.

I found Psychology to be my easiest subject, that required the least amount of work. Don't worry about what board you're doing, no one is easier, their contents just vary.

I'm doing that board as well. So I don't have any knowledge of the AQA.

My teacher rekons that he chose WJEC because a survey of 'student enjoyment' showed 50% on the AQA board and 80% on the WJEC.

So I guess if you're one of the lucky ones to enjoy it and fall into that 80% you should find it easier..
