AQA Psychology - With no AS?

Dd is doing AQA Psychology. She is in first year and has got her AS exam timetable and there are no psychology exams.

She says oh we have no exams in AQA you just do them at the end of the second year.

Does anyone know if this could be correct? I will be checking with school tomorrow.
I would be happier if she was doing the AS as presumably that helps to get offers.

This is quite normal. Firstly a lot of exam boards are phasing out AS levels. The choice to do AS + A2 or just the A level is a school decision. Offers from Uni are based on predicted grades which are often based on mocks done in Year 12

Thank you, I hadn't heard of this before.

Where are you? Most boards only do Year 13 A level exams and AS,where offered, are separate courses.

I though all A levels were 2 year now?!

In Northern Ireland. AS still very much taken here. AQA is available here but her other 2 A levels are CCEA which are based in NI and still have AS exam.
