Is this a hard subject

I have heard that psychology is an "easy" subject;is this true?What is required to succeed in this subject.

Anyone with a genuine interest in the content and a commitment to do the work won't find this a particularly pressing subject. The content of Psychology is relatively simple to deal with, though it is definitely a challenging subject in terms of achieving those high marks, in that it is extremely particular and requires a very precise approach to assessment.

It's not hard, but it requires a lot of reading and work. 90% of it is just remembering - Definitions, experiments and results, etc.

That really depends on what you want to achieve. For an average study score, yes. Very easy. If you want a better study score, remember you are up against one of the biggest populations in VCE - Psych is super popular, and to go well (really well), you'll need to work hard and know your definitions. Good luck!

Hear, hear! It's an absolute bastard of a subject to get a top notch score in. You need to be hugely pedantic and really pay attention to the VCAA exam style. It's by no means an easy 40, and arguably, some of the more 'traditionally' difficult subjects are perhaps a little easier to achieve that score in.
