Yeah check what exam board your school does, and look at past papers online to see what they look like. Any psychology content is not that hard, there’s just a lot of evaluation involved, and a few maths skills which aren’t that major
I do edexcel and in AS there are a lot of shorter marker questions with 8 mark essays, however in year 13 it is mainly a lot essay with few short marks
