LOL. What Is Psychology Like?? (1 Viewer)

[Survivor39]

Since no one can do Psychology for the HSC, I just want to know what Psychology is going to be like?

Is it like any of the other sciences? Does it resemble Biology? Chemistry? Physics? or Earth and Environmental Science?

A writing subject? or calculating subject??

Bit of both - they need to be able to write scientific reports and study statistics to be able to present their results.

I'd say out of those it's most similar to Biology, and to some extent Chemistry.
In essence, it's similar to most sciences, everything needs to be backed up by experimentation etc, and there are theories that are applied.
The good thing is that both the experiments and the theories are a lot more interesting (imo) than those found in the other sciences.

I would rate MATH1081 better than MATH1411 ....
