A levels

Has anyone done psychology or religious studies a level, AQA??
1. How are they both
2. How do you feel about the exam, do u think it has a structure??
3. How can I learn the philosophy and ethics part of the exam.

Hii I do both subjects an I love them both I do AQA psychology so I can respond to u on that although I do a different exam board for rs (edexcel) so take what I say about that with a pinch of salt.
1. Psychology is so interesting I like how you can write about any study that is relevant in your essays with only a few key studies, my school do the schizophrenia module which was my face.
RS is my favorite subject and honestly the specify of language I have developed as a result made my personal statement and epq a whole lot easier
2. The exam structure for psych is so nice imo enough Short answer questions to balance the essays. In psychology the essays are pretty short and can be written using a sort of algorithm that guarantees marks. It's really important to learn how to identify if the question wants A01,2,or 3 or a mix of them this helps u write the correct information in both short and long answers and stops you overwriting
As for rs I can't speak on the AQA exam
3. Ik some of the content from the exam boards is the same but regardless my best advice would be know your language really shows your knowledge in the essays my essays get top grade I use prases like "this is an anti realist perspective" or "this take a view that creation has instrumental value" , " this is circular reasoning" , "this is a post modern atheist view" ect these are all things I've picked up from reading and they bought my essays from C/B to A/A* so yh no your terminology, get good as spotting flaws in philosophical arguments and ethical concepts would be my advice
Ik this isn't exactly what u asked but I hope it helps

Heyy thankyou so much for your help!!
It’s between sociology and psychology for me! I’m stuck between them, I’ve heard socio doesn’t have a structure and psychology does. And I want structure, and want to be able to apply my own prior knowledge into the exam. I’m really stuck on what to do 😭 any advice??
I’ve change rs to socio due to not wanting to do theories and ethics etc

Hii I don't do sociology I have friends who do it
Some of them regret choosing it every minute because they really don't find it interesting and it wasn't what they thought it was.
Some of them love it
Id say the key difference is the ones that love it looked into what you actually learn about before and liked the sound of it the ones that hate it thought they had a general idea of what u learned about but turns out they didn't like the way u learn about it

Ohh I see, what would you say would be the better option or the more doable option
