Hi,
I've decided to study Sociology and Psychology at A Level in one-year. I work full time and this is purely because I am interested in these subjects. Does anyone have any tips or useful resources, please? I'll be teaching myself from various text books. Thank you.

Which exam board are you doing?
If you're doing AQA for Sociology, I exclusively learnt the textbook and did a bit of back ground reading and it taught me everything. One useful tip is to stay up to date with the news as it provides useful examples for essays

Seems like a waste of time to be honest, if you're interested in the subject you should just do your own independent research

AQA Psychology is quite demanding in terms of how much you have to remember. The AS units are quite straight forward as the questions are broken down. However, the A2 units involve fairly long essays and A LOT of information to learn. For both A2 units I had to learn around 30 essays - each around 750 words long.

My initial post simply asked for tips and useful resources. I didn't ask for comments about whether it would be a 'waste of time' or about the amount to learn.

It will be difficult to balance the work load of preparing for eight exams alongside a full time job; don't commit yourself if it is something you may struggle with. It is also fairly difficult to source relevant information for essays - it is fairly time consuming.

It was advice based on your situation, no need to sound rude.
