Customer Reviews

AS-Psychology
This book is average piece of material, as an AS student doing psychology i have found this book confusing and hard to understand in some areas but good in other areas. It mirrors the AQA specification well and has good uses of colour. Not a bad book but slightly confusing and hard to grasp in some areas!!!
