Don't say I didn't warn you!!

Psychology... ba-hoooooorrrrinnngg.

Anyway if you can't decide which one to do do the lang & lit combined course. Btw you might not be able to choose it so late, there was a waiting list for some subjects when I first started college.


Even if there is alot of work involved, just do what subjects you enjoy and find most interesting.

Don't listen to the above, psychology isn't interesting.


Ditto.


I took it thinking it would be really interesting... how wrong was I!
My friends are in the same situation as me in sociology. I wouldn't call it a subject; it is just remembering LOADS of case studies and basically explaining them, which is the complete opposite to what I thought it'd be. 80% of people in my year at college got a D or below and in my class only 3/4 people are continuing with it next year.

Ryan, this isn't just 'some' people. The subject is awful, only 3 people in my class continued with it to A2, and with my D I got the third best mark in the class!

you'll hate it""":eusa_wall

Mmy sixth form does alright with Psychology grades. I continued it to A2, but i'm so bored of it lol. Too much iseless crap and case studies to remember. Actually, the only reason i'm on here now is because I have a **** load of Psychology work that has to be in tomorrow which i'm trying to put off and delay doing.

[Throne Sofa]

Psychology is great. :P

[Gasm]

It's good but most people just expect it to be all Deren Brown shiz, mind reading, hypnosis and blah blah. So it's easy to get disappointed or bored of it. It's hard work really tho.

[FlyingJesus]

I also warned people against psychology, but no-one listens :P I only know like 2 people who've enjoyed it really

[Inseriousity.]

I enjoy it and I'm doing okay in it. Sociology is better but that's just because all you need is common sense... :D

[JackBuddy]

oh btw if you have just started AS psychology then count yourself lucky... it's much easier now than when I did it and it was essays >_>

[Immenseman]

yeah it's crap though i'm doing sociology too you have to remember so much it's ****e lol.

[luce]

I want to do it. Becuase it would look good on the jobs i want to do. :) So yeah it's the most over subscribed at our 6th form

[nnader]

i never did psychology but my sister fell in love with it, lol. she did it for AS and for A2 and got ninty something percent, but she was interestd in it, if ur not interested in an alevel, u will probs fail, u need to choose subjects ur intersted in

[Virgin Mary]

it's an unrespected doss subject!!!! it tries to make simple questions look like maths by involving that freud who thinks babies **********....ew

[FlyingJesus]

No-one professional really believes in most of Freud's theories any more anyway so it's a pointless subject

What's wrong with young children having sexual fantasies about their parents? :S

It is not a doss. The amount of useless information you have to remember takes it away from being a doss.

did you know that girls develop penis envy as young children!?

[N!ck]

did you know that girls develop penis envy as young children!?

Yes, it cannot be falsified.

[MJJ]

I'm thinking of taking it..
It sounds interesting.

[Callum.]

i dunno whether to take it.

thinking of taking 4 and dropping one after first yr

[TAYLOOOOR1]

I am interested in phycology. Many people always say how practical and good the subejct actually is.

I was speaking to Jess and she said she also enjoys (: x

But apparently it can be hard..

So im not to sure - im going to have to research about this subject i think!

It leads to many career paths and relate well to alot of jobs to do with charisma etc.

[Tintinnabulate]

is so crap, don't pick it at a level

last year was ok
this year, one of my teacher is great. the 2nd one is crap
