Psychology is mostly reading and explaining, but Lesson 5 (Basic Statistics) is an exam lesson with simple calculations, so practise it rather than just reading it. The exam lessons in Modules 2 to 4 (memory, emotions, thinking, development, personality, intelligence) are the core of the paper. Short, clear definitions with one everyday example score well.
Combining Psychology 328 with other subjects
It is in Group B, so it combines freely with other Group B subjects. Groups C, D, E and F allow one subject each. Transfer of Credit may apply if you passed it elsewhere in 2022 or later.
