Have you ever wondered what it is that makes some people behave the way they do? For example, what turns someone into a psychopath or makes someone afraid of spiders? How can different things affect your mood and even your confidence" 3sychology is the scientific study of the mind and human behaviour. Not only will you gain insights into the human mind, but you will also participate in practical experiments that will enable you to understand the causes of human behaviour and how to change it.
The vast majority of Upper Fifth (Year 11) pupils at Exeter School continue into the sixth form but there has also been a long tradition of a significant number of new entrants from other schools. To qualify for entry into the Lower Sixth, applicants and current Upper Fifth pupils need to achieve a minimum of three grade 7 and three grade 6 GCSEs as well as passing GCSE English and mathematics and have a positive reference/school record (that includes conduct, attendance and punctuality). Minimum GCSE grade 6 in both biology (or 6,6 in double award science) and mathematics, although a grade 7 is preferred. There is no requirement to have studied any psychology before.
Three two-hour written examinations, assessing the work from both years. The papers will contain a mixture of multiple-choice, short and extended-answer essay questions.
