should I do a level psycology?

Would not recommend at all the essays are absolutely killer, super long and very prescriptive on what you can talk about.

I'm also doing maths and physics, my other subject I'm considering is Comp sci, but that's just so lifeless and dull- but I'll find it easier as it's mathsy

I love the content, but I hate the essay aspect of it. what should I do?

I took it at A Level having never studied it before, and ended up doing my degree in it. The essays are hard, but they're doable, and a lot of people exaggerate them.

But please, learn how to spell psychology before you take it. Nothing's more annoying than seeing your classmates still misspelling their course in the third year of their degree! Nip it in the bud.

Heyyy I feel the same way!!!
Idk wat to do
U k my sis did AQA Psychology (I won’t be doing that) like 2 yrs ago and their exam has 3 16 MARKERS!!!

it's great that someone relates to me, what other subjects are you doing, and do you think you'll end up doing it?

I’m going into year 12 and I’m starting to write my personal statement I keep juggling between applying for biochem or psychology I am better at psychology and I find it comes more naturally to me however I looked at the job aspects and I know loads of people do psychology at uni and that the job market isn’t very good I was wondering if you could just give me your opinion on this as you’re studying it I’m leaning more towards biochem because I think the job aspects are better and the pay is better please help

may i ask, where did you do your degree and how did you find it?

Hey so I’m gonna do business and Spanish
Which both have a lot of writing in it as well 😌
And business has like 20 markers something like that....
But I really enjoy, love and am really interested in these subjects so why not take them? 😌
Maybe I’ll get used to the essay bits 😒😒😏
I wanna have a career related with business
But there r jobs combining business and psychology which I’m looking at but I don’t wanna take psychology further for uni...
My sis is doing that atm and it looks kinda boring 😄
But for a levels it’ll be fine x

U?

As someone who also generally leans towards science subjects and took A-Level Psych for a while, I wouldn't recommend it if you're not too fond of essays. I agree that lots of the topics were really interesting, but if you have a scientific mindset, having to evaluate and write 'subjectively' about research and theories kinda kills it. It also doesn't help that psychology is a relatively new field, and the most reliable and direct methods of investigating the brain (i.e. neuroimaging) are still pretty basic, so lots of information that you'll be taught is glaringly open-ended and inconclusive (although, in itself, I can see how that's appealing).
Also, 16 markers in psychology are the worst kind of essay because you pretty much just use the same technique and structure all the time - its almost like a fill-in-the-blanks for the different topics (think GCSE Religious Studies 12 markers).

Bear in mind that, even if you don't take A-Level, you could still pursue an interest in psychology later at uni.
