I am doing aqa psychology and there is barely any maths - the only thing you will asked to work out in an exam is mean, median, mode and range.
You will have to learn about things like standard deviation, interpreting frequency tables and diagrams, bar charts and histograms, stats test and which one is appropriate things like that, its alot of GCSE maths but I havent see any questions that is too mathsy.
Good luck with whichever one you choose!
