I took Biology at A Level 3 years ago. I'm assuming you did it for GCSE? It was a big step up compared to all of the other conversions from GSCE and A Level. If you enjoy it though and find that you can retain a lot of information regarding Biology then go for it! I loved the subject. -Edit- I should say that you need to know a lot for the exams when they come around.

As for the others, I only know through friends that Psychology has a lot of information that you need to know for the final exams.

Psychology you look largely in depth to approaches like the Freudian approach etc.

Taking both of these now in September as boosters for University. Like any A Level it'll be a huge change from GCSE but it's just a more in depth study on what you'd learn at GCSE.

Did Psychology AS but dropped it because it's a mickey mouse subject ;)

Only messing, it's alright. Not too hard if you put the work in, also good to have a decent memory. I would advise against Sociology though.
