Psychology
We provide comprehensive support and a wide selection of resources for our GCE 2008 qualifications. We publish our own dedicated suite of resources for teachers and students, written by qualification experts, in addition to endorsing suitable material from other publishers.
These publications aren’t essential to achieve the qualification, nor will they be used verbatim in any Edexcel examination, but you may find them useful support when delivering or studying the GCE 2008 qualifications.
