To do well in this subject you need to have good thinking and analytical skills and should enjoy reading, researching, and problem-solving. An interest in science is essential, as is the need to be well organized. Psychology is based on empirical evidence therefore you will need to enjoy working with statistics and interpreting data. The Psychology A level is much more challenging than most students imagine it to be. To do well students need to be well organised and prepared to work hard throughout the year.
