Do what you want to do, its going to be you sitting them examz not us.

Pick the subject which you like best or make a list wid the pros and cons of each subject and see which 1 has the most pros and stick with that.

Simple.

geniesisi'm reli confused at the moment in which two of the A levels sociology or psychology to pick

I've done both, comparing both I would say psychology is more better if you are looking to go into the field of counselling. As for sociolgy its more to do with a career in health service/private and public sectors.

Psychology is about how people'e minds work/the thinkin process/why people behave the way they do.

Sociology is more to do with what enviromental factors have on behaviour, i.e. why criminals behave the way they do....

There is quite a similarity in both subject, one is to do with the person and the other what is around the person, personally I opted for sociology because it will be more helpful in social work but do what you think is best and what you think u will enjoy most.

I've done Psychology AS and no Sociology.

Psychology is interesting. If you can read studies and learn names and findings off by heart, you should get a good grade in psychology.

From friends who did sociology, it seems boring with a few interesting bits here and there. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

lol spot on! I enjoyed the subject in regards to crime and about gender, also press and broadcasting was interestin but the lecturer made it seem like such a bore! Overal it's a good subject if you pick the right modules.

You should have seen my psychology tutor, once when I came into the class with my hands hand cuffed behind my back, he didn't say anything as I spent 5 minutes writhing on the floor getting out of them.

I think i've already said on here how my friend managed to convinve him i was bullemic.

I've also done both subjects....last year. And if you wanna be a psychiatrist then you should choose psychology.

Sociology is abit dull compared to psychology, the only part of the course in sociology I found interesting was crime and deviance, which you do in your second year (A2), but there's alot of theories you gotta memorise.

For sociology we went to a prison and an ex inmate came to our college, don't know if you're gonna do that.

For psychology we were planning to go to freud museum, I was so looking forward to it but some stupid people in our class had to ruin it for the rest of us :evil:

yep. I pretty much agree with all that.

If you want to be a shrink then you def need to take psych (it shouldnt matter what people think or want from you but what you want for yourself.) 6 Years in academic studies is not a long time really. It will go by pretty quick.

In the end it is you who will be sitting the exams, not you're parents. It will be you're lifes work so you may aswell do something worthwile and some thing you wanna do rather than something someone else wants you to do.

And if it makes you feel better theres really no such thing as normal... we all need our heads checking but the result would be the same... except maybe in the cases of wacko's.

as for psychology it doesnt fit my timetablee i cnt belive it . but i can still pick it up if i drop one of my others
i doing 4 A levels genral studies , business studies betac wich is wrth 2 A levels ands well currently in sociology which is extreamly boringgg bt apparently gets intresting after a few weeks .
the teacher i have fr sociology is too safe thats teh promblem like today i was out to collect a book i took about half hour as i met a friend on my travells he didnt mind at all wen i returned he just smile

andhis teaching is well i give it about a 4 out of 10 but teh only gd thing about him is u can go up to him about 100 times and he still wnt mind as other teacher hate it wen u keep cuming up to them.

. and i have him fr about half my lessons fr business and in business he practically dictates evrything i need to write in my crswrk and keeps reasuring me that i dng gd in pickign sociology the right subject.

we gt a similar teacher like urs in our school everyone practically bullies him.
genie stick wth sociology see hw it goes and if u do find it very boring drop it after a few weeks altho i dnt know might be too late to pick another one up . as fr later on in university ur options will be much more open and this subject also lets u into a wider field as wer psychology
u can only percifically go into psychology related

man u are reli confused at teh moment

cant belive you still havnt decided. :?

think you shud jus stick to sociology now like you said its early days and once the course kiks in you might start enjoying it more.

lol isit the same teacher who everyone bullies? The teacher and the way he/she teaches makes a big diff if you think ur gna end up fallin asleep in the lessons then id talk to the teach, you shud be lucky youve got a teach you can go up to a zillion times my eng teach was soo mardy evertime i asked him a question he nearly bit my head off. nearly made me wana drop english. in the end i skipped most lessons but sumhow fluked and passed ๐Ÿ˜‚ alhmadullilah

What's the unit and topic area?

erm the unit is called 4B-criminological psychology so topic is crime n psychology i think you probably did a different examination board our sixth form does edexcel, today we were looking at eye witness testimony n how unreliable it is, we were relating it to the shooting of jean charles de menezes and how different ppl gave different versions of events.

Geniesis dont worry about dropping subjects so long as u pick another one up in its place, i did that my first day i dropped physics and picked up government and politics
