romice Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm wondering if the mathematics used in psychology is hard and how important it is to do the right calculations in order to get a good grade? Can you manage it if you are taking SL studies in Maths or do you need SL Methods or HL to understand the maths in psychology?? I'm grateful for any answers I can get. /Mike Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 It really depends on the level that you are taking. If its SL psych, you don't need to worry at all. But for HL, its a tad bit harder. Don't stress about it too much though. If you have a good teacher, you will get through. Besides, all you will need it for is IA and stuff like that. You won't need it to do the exam. Hope that helps. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Martin Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Oh, almost all of my classmates in Psych HL are taking Math Studies, and I thought that taking Math SL was perhaps overambitious for Psychology. Hence, can someone please explain to me in what way you need advanced mathematics? (no abstract things like ''enhanced logical thinking or problem solving'') Thanks!

NotreDameWatson. Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'm doing Psychology Higher, And we have to know inferential statistics. Basically.. It's measures of difference. However, standard level don't need all of it. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
