Looking at your other post about law, i think you are one of those people who'll do well but will have the dubious honour of putting down law, psychology, physio, medicine type choices on your CAO. High points really does not equate to something that you'll like. Talk to your career guidance person and find out what you really want to do.

I'm doing Psychology through MH106 at the mo... Actual psychology is 2 lectures a week, a tutorial once every two weeks and a practical every 4 or so weeks, then you'll have your arts subjects so it adds up to about 16 hours per week overall.

The course seems great, but I've seen a huge decrease in class numbers so obviously it's not for everyone. It's not "hard" to learn, although you should be able to name the year and researchers of studies you mention in exam answers so that can be a pain. The maths is easy, most of stats so far isn't even maths, the only maths you'll need is using formulas that are no harder than anything you learned for the LC anyway, infact easier. The biggest chunk of stats is learning all the terms, tests blah blah blah...
