AS/A2 'CIE' or 'A' level PSYCHOLOGY

[LioxMessi]

What about this combination to be taken for A Levels:
Mathematics, Economics, Psychology and Sociology? :/

Mathematics is just perfect with Economics, Sociology is good with Psychology but all four of them together doesn't suit any specific field, you should do Accounting with Economics and Mathematics which would open your way towards both Economics and Chartered Accountancy, otherwise do Biology with Psychology, Sociology and English Language which would open the road towards becoming a Psychiatrist, this is wise.

I took psychology and dropped it at AS....it's only a personal opinion but I found the subject quite depressing actually...but saying that, truth is ithe most popular subject in our college is psychology soo maybe I'm just a bit weird!

Well honestly, i wouldn't call it tough but it's tricky, yet interesting and that is why people tend to study Psychology.

I suppose there are parts of it which are intersting...I mean the whole concept of understanding the complex human mind definitely sounds intriguing...but to think such a slight malfunction in the brain cud affect a person so greatly just totally made me depressed...but Ofc that's not reason enough for anyone to be put off the subject!

That becomes easy when Biology is studied along with Psychology, to study Psychology effectively, knowledge of the human body and functions of it's parts is imperative, without Biology i would rather consider Physics easier than Psychology.

But, Sociology, Psychology and Economics are all subjects of social sciences. They do have a connection between them. And about maths, I think It would be supportive with these three. What are your suggestions now?

Would it be useful to take Biology in A levels(just to gain a support for Psychology) if we have studied Biology in O-Levels? Wouldn't the O Levels Biology would be enough for this purpose?

Yes, O Levels Biology is sufficient enough but carrying it along with with Psychology in A Levels can open your way towards Neuroscience as well, other than being a Psychiatrist.

You didn't gave the answer of my previous question.

You didn't gave the answer of my previous question.

Psychology is not a social science, and Mathematics only suits Economics, and on the other hand, Sociology and Psychology are somewhat connected but their combination does not suit any specific field.

Hmm, 4 pretty dang hard subjects. You may want a slightly less scientific one as well.

Economics is not scientific, nor is maths.
No problem if it is a difficult combination, but whether this is a correct one or not. I'm confused.

Psychology is a subject of Social Sciences. Google it

When studying with sciences, Psychology is never a social science, like i told you Psychology and Sociology are somewhat connected, it would be considered a social science only when you'll study both of them (or with any social science) together, but then again, that won't suit any specific field, Biology is many times more worthy enough to be opted with Psychology as fields like Neuroscience are then available when doing this, just be wise.

Okay guys, I get where you're coming from, but this has strayed from the original topic of the post, and isn't really helping anyone now...?

Hey are you doing it as self study or as a subject at school where you actually have a teacher

I do have a teacher... And I also have amazing friends who have helped me a lot with every query and confusion that have occurred during the exam preparation... We do group study a lot..
