There is no A-Level you can pass without working, at all. Perhaps at GCSE, but not at A-Level. I did AS Psychology last year, and yes, both of my teachers were mad, they were part of the reason why I dropped it.

URGH its so boringI don't know how the syllabus has changed this year, but the beginning of the course was the worst part for me because that was when we did all of the research methods. It can get better towards the end!

If you thinking of passing A level Psychology without putting any effort in, then its not going to happen mate. I do A level Psychology and there is a lot essay writing. -

yeah the beginning is so bad we're still doing just research methods and like sampling techniques... hoping it will get better but it hasn't so far. Did you get a lot of case studies over the AS year? -

There is literally no way you can pass without working. Out of all the subjects I do psychology takes the longest to revise for
but if you like science and studying people then you'll be fine, if your really interested you'll do well but I know a lot of people who quit because they couldn't take the workload and it does get a lot harder at A2.
My teacher was pretty nice but for As I had another teacher that taught us the second paper and he wasn't very good and we wasted most lessons just talking and i didn't end up with the grade that i wanted. if that happens to you and you still want to do the subject make sure you really revise and teach yourself at home. -

Are you in AS or A2? Do you hate the actual subject, the teacher or both? -

The research methods are by far the worst part of the course, they really seem to drag on. Some bits after that are really good though, I quite liked Memory and Social Influence. Stress was a bit of a killer. There were so many case studies, but then they aren't too bad to remember because sometimes they are really simple, or you can use techniques to remember them, like linking the name of the researcher to what they did, or making up a story. Or we would act them out in class to remember them. -

Personally, I find it very interesting at A2. I am not going to lie I did find it slightly tedious at AS, but at A2 I like it very much. However, I did study the old syllabus so I have no knowledge of what the new syllabus is like. -

Yeah some parts of it were boring, I remember conformity and obedience and also theories of abnormality, but it did get better as the year went on, so if you want to quit give it at least a month or two. I particularly enjoyed forensics and attachment in children and for A2 there is nothing that I hate so far and it is so much more interesting, right now we are studying sleep.
