I got in to study psychology! What do I do now?

I just received my results, and I got in to study psychology starting in September.
So what do I do now? How long will it take before UCAS and St Andrews acknowledge that I have gotten in?
Does anyone know the names of the books we will study in the first year of psychology?

And BTW - anyone else here who got their IB results today and got in??

I'm so excited! Can't wait!:woo:

Congratulations - I have just finished my first year and i can tell you it is a great course.

As for books, there are 2 books

Psychology v. 3 by Martin, Carlson, Buskist (although Version 2 is perfectly adequate)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Psychology-MyPsychLab-v-Pt-E/dp/1405854065/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247435133&sr=1-1

and

Introduction to Statistics in Psychology by Howitt and Cramer

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Introduction-Statistics-Psychology-Dennis-Howitt/dp/0132051613/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247435258&sr=1-1

I wouldnt stress about getting them early - i didnt get them until i arrived and i did fine.

However if maths is an issue for you, you may find it worth while looking at the stats book for a few hours over the summer. There is a fair bit of stats in the course, and it really helps if you are familier with the material. I did Stats as part of my maths A level i did find that having that prior familiarity with stats was useful. It isnt hard stuff, but if you havn't done maths since GCSE, a brief refresher may save you time and stress later.

It is a great course with great lecturers, you will love it.
