Hey everybody!
I was wondering if anyone here has taken Psychology A-levels before and could tell me regarding how difficult they found it, recommended books, etc?

Im taking AS psychology now..
For AS it has 20 core studies.. and you can always ask for my help if you want to.. though i have just started.. but its going nice.. we did 4/20 core studies yet.

Im taking osychology too :D
sof ar just studied 3 expreiments, Milgram, D&K, and pilivian ..what bout u guys ?
-
im thinking of taking it in oct/nov 2010 after my may/june ones are over. But ppl at my skool have prbbly never heard of this course!
do u think i could do it alone? is there like a proper textbook for it? or is it random?here and there.piece it together...?is it hard? do u like it till now Roxy and xxemoxx?
Lol, yeah.. in places like Saudi... no one takes psycholgy and stuff.. as long as you have a good teacher to teach you, or as long as you think you can study by urslef then thats oryt ia xD
We havent been given a text book, our teacher just gives us notes and stuff.. thats it really // and so far, so good.. but with 15 experiements to learn.. Im sure it;ll get harder..
andyway.. good luck :)

umm.. we done with Milgram, Maguire, Pilliavin, Sperry, Demeent and Klietman, and Reicher and Haslam.

I did AS Psychology with CIE. I got a B, but only because I went with little to no preparation. I new only 2-3 studies REALLY well to attempt questions on them in Section B (you need to attempt like 3/4 10 marks questions on your chosen study). And I was SUPER lucky 'cause the studies I knew really well came up in Section B!
I am now doing A2 Psychology (Health and Abnormal), but I plan to give AS along with A2 in May June to get an A overall. :p

I did AS psychology last year and it's not that bad. Know at least 8 points for the description part of the study and then 2 strengths and 2 weaknesses you'll be fine. Most strengths and weaknesses apply to all studies so that shouldn't be a problem. Anyone writing A2 psychology Edexcel Unit 3 this Monday? what do you think will be the 12 mark question?
