Both subjects are highly theoretical, so they are usually of very limited use in practice
•
Economics tend to go better with maths
•
Psychology tend to go better with biology
•
Neither economics nor psychology are required subjects, so you're purely doing them for the grades
•
Neither subjects have much relevance to pharmacy, so they won't really help you in the degree
•
Psychology would look at the material as if they are research studies i.e. less theoretical debate and more on research methods
•
Economics would look at models and theoretical debates more and less on what actually happens in the real world i.e. application
1.
Find out what the exam boards your college are doing the subjects in
2.
Look at the specification
3.
Look on YouTube for tutorial videos on the specific topics
4.
Look at the revision guides for an overview of the material (ideally exam board specific books, but they are generally similiar in terms of content)
5.
Look at the past exam papers and thoroughly look at the exam questions vs answers/mark scheme to see if they are to your liking
6.
Ask for second opinions from people who did the A Levels (I didn't mind either, but I'm biased)
