How much Maths in Biology and Psychology A Level?
Wondering if anyone studying AQA A Level Biology and/ or Psychology can help. My daughter is doing GCSEs this summer and would like to take a level biology and psychology. Maths is her nemesis! She is getting 4/5 in GCSE mocks (6-9s in all other subjects) Is this good enough for A level Biology and Psychology? How hard is the maths content? Thank you
i did aqa psychology but a different exam board for biology ! i didn’t do my gcses because of covid but i got a 6 despite hating maths to the core. psychology’s maths content isn’t too bad, but the biology course i did had some quite tricky maths at times so i assume it’d be similar with aqa biology. i think a 6 is recommended for both subjects but a 5 should be fine

Thanks for this. V helpful 
Has the maths content impacted your a level results/ predictions at all? Are you on course for good grades in biology and psychology, despite hating maths?!! Ha ha!

Ha ha!i did my a levels last year and i got c’s in both biology and psychology. i was on track to get an a/b in psychology but i really messed up in my actual exams and i was originally predicted to get an e in biology because i just didn’t get it at all but this wasn’t because of the maths. i wouldn’t say that hating maths really had any effect on how i was doing on the courses though
just didn’t understand stuff i’m general for biologyOriginal post by okayykayy

just didn’t understand stuff i’m general for biologySounds like you worked hard to get that c in biology - well done! Exams are tricky and a bit of luck sometimes on which questions end up being asked. Thanks so much for the insights

There is very little maths in Psycology A level, there is some in Biology and many getting a 5 at GCSE can do it, you dont need A Level maths for Biology.
