Psychology A level

Should I take psychology A level?
I didn’t take sociology/psychology for gcse, but psychology seems quite interesting. I’m taking bio, chem, physics as well. I’m okay with essay based subjects, predicting 9 in Eng lang, 8 in Eng lit.
But is psychology very difficult, I know every a level is difficult but is psychology more so?
I can’t take maths as I need an 8 in maths to join my sixth form but I was sick during one of my exams so I will most likely get a 7.
So I’m thinking of taking psychology as well as it goes will with my other subjects, I want to do med/dent in the future.
Any advice or experience of psychology A level would be great to hear.

I do alevel bio chem and psychology and i find it gives a nice balance to have a more essay based subject. It also overlaps well with bio in some areas. Doing 4 alevels is alot of work though so its more about the balance and workload, i definitely find it the easiest of my subjects 🤷*♀️
