how do you do psychology is that a distinction course
it's just a 1unit year 11 course..

designed to fill in that 12th or 13th unit for year 11

it's the stdy of the mind nd hman behaviour. exploring the ature and historical deveopment of the discipline, early theorists such as Wundt and Freud, to current theories and practice.
you learn about brain structure and function, states of conscousness and the mental heath
invesigate the nature of abnormal psychology, learn basic research methodolohy and engage in researh

so how do i choose psychology
i dont think my school has it
It's only a content endorsed course. So you have to find somewhere that
offers it, or you can't do it (I can't recall anywhere that does it). There's not much point of doing it outside of school if your school doesnt offer it because it's only a one year course.

Changing schools in one option :)

Oohhh thank you very much!
Yea, I probably shouldn't have chosen something I didn't know about, but I thought I'd rather do this than economics. :)

I chose

German Continuers
French Beginners
Advanced English
Information Processes and Technology
PDHPE
Photography

But when I got to Year 12 I dropped photography because it was a non UAI subject and I wanted some time to be able to study.

For future students who have to choose HSC subjects, choose the subjects you think you will be good at and the subjects that interest you. Don't pick subjects because you're friends are doing it or because you feel you have to do it. I chose not to do maths because I honestly sucked at it and I just wasn't passionate about it like other people are.

Lol sorry I rambled on but yeah... just trying to help...
