OCR, we have to memorise 15 psychological studies... as well as psychological investigations (which is basically knowing how to conduct an experiment) :s-smilie:
ahh, well that's obviously going to be loooads more interesting than what i'm doing :rolleyes: good luck with it :biggrin:


Oh how strange :tongue: I did AQA so you had to memorise studies ie Harlow et al (1963) etc.
But that was only to help with your evaulation of theories.
What are you going to be doing? I've nearly finished my first year and loved it!

Accounting and single ict !!!!

Would have been better off with further maths and physics
English Literature- Was good at it in GCSE level, realised I wasn't so brilliant at A level. I couldn't understand reading into poems/stories and picking out things that weren't there, or that were possibly interpreted.

Ouch!
Yeees I guessed from your subjects you'd say that! Well good luck :smile:
I wanted to go into medicine but changed my mind :wink: mostly because I can't stand gore.
Physics :erm: dropping it as soon as I finish the AS

Media Studies! So much to learn. All those theories and analysing of music videos, trailers and magaziners and posters! And the coursework drove me mad!

Dropping it next year, thank God!
French! Fine at AS, horrific at A2...
I wish I had done biology and psychology instead of English and history, because I just didn't enjoy them at A Level.

Maths!! ugh its just horrible

Has to be chemistry, took it thinking I would be good at it at the same time I enjoyed maths, but when i got to college my maths went out the window and hated chemistry.
My ideal subjects now would have been Biology, Economics, Pyscology and would have kept my ICT at AS, the benifit of hindsight

Computing. I should have picked something I can do with no effort, like English.
Art. It's not particularly hard, but there is such a ridiculous amount of work involved that it makes it hard. Only in this awful subject would you get set 10,000 words of research to do. It has definitely interfered with my other A Levels and has taken away my love for art. I now despise it, when I used to enjoy painting or drawing in my spare time. Plus, it's not even seen as a good A Level in the first place, despite how draining it is.

Physics! Cannot stress enough how much hatred I have for the subject now

And unit 5 biology. Ugh!

Physics, thankfully I got a B in it at AS and was allowed to drop it :')

History, just like learning a massive, pointless novel.
I hated English literature at A2! AS was great, we studied Shakespeare and Chaucer, but at A2 it was Gothic literature (snore) and Sylvia Plath (depression overload).
