About this qualification

GCSE Psychology, Done Properly

GCSE Psychology is one of the most requested subjects among private candidates, whether you are home educated, retaking to lift a grade, studying independently or preparing for a competitive university course. Memory, development, research methods and social influence. You sit exactly the same papers and are held to the same standards as any candidate in a school or college.

At London Maths & Science College you sit Psychology with a college whose whole identity is built around maths and science. Your subject is handled by experienced specialists, with the structure, supervision and feedback you would expect from a serious academic college.

As a private candidate you carry the full cost and responsibility of your entry, so where you sit it matters. We make sure nothing about the administration, the supervision or the preparation is left to chance.
