a levels pls helpp

is a-level psychology just memorising a bunch of information? does a-level economics involve memorising information and applyng to studies?

Not sure which exam board you do, but for OCR psychology we had 3 papers, and one of them did contain a bit of maths work - nothing too out there, but it meant you had to know how to use formulas (etc), and required basic math knowledge. The rest of that paper was understanding research methods - I remember having to do practical sessions and 'studies' in class, which I would then include as part of my answer in the exams. The other papers were more about learning about the different psychological areas, perspectives, and cases. Obviously for the case studies you would have to remember key facts and stats, but you would also have to then apply this to the question. I remember on one of my papers you had to apply what you had learnt to a 'real-life' scenario, so not only do you have to remember information, but you have to truly understand it and know how, when and why is applies. Obviously everyone may have different experiences, but this is what it was like for me! Hope this helps!
