Hi everyone,
I have decided to pick up psych in unit 2, but i was wondering if it's difficult? I heard theres a lot of terminology/definitions that we need to know.
I also sort of nervous about doing psych because i'm not sure what to expect T_T I would really appreciate some advice!
Thank you

Personally, I found Psych U2 to be alright, but a lot of the study design has changed since I did it (2012).
I heard theres a lot of terminology/definitions that we need to know.
It takes a little bit of work and experience to get used to the terminology (although I don’t think it’s overwhelming) and it might feel like quite a bit to begin with, however, over time you get used to it and much of it you’ll realise you can relate to yourself, which makes things a bit easier.

I can recommend that you read PhoenixxFire’s VCE subject review for Psych U1/2 for an idea. Checking out the study design might also help.
If there’s anything I can recommend you learn beforehand, as you would’ve missed it, it would be the research methods section of Psych U1. (This has remained although changed slightly since I did it.) This carries over across all the psych units, although more prominently in U3/4, and it’d be good to know as a foundation. If you have the textbook handy, you can take a peek at the appropriate chapter(s) for research methods prior to starting U2 to get a feel of what Psych’ll be like.
Hope that helps! :)

Unit 2, no. Quite simple stuff. Just look over research methods and you should be golden. They won’t mention much stuff from unit 1 really besides research methods.
