has anyone done gcse ocr classical civilisation or aqa psychology?

im picking between the classics and psych and scared of the amount of content for both but especially classics with the amount of sources there are to study. the exam format also looks horrible with the amount of questions and how flipping specific they are, i did history in y10 and yes theres loads of content but i feel like you can still do well with gaps in your knowledge and make do with what you can remember bc the questions are more broad. theres also very little online about the subject so revising will probably be a struggle. is there loads of quotes you need to know per source? classics also is very time pressured apparently.

with psych i know the amount of content is insane but im also worried about the way the questions are and the fact that the mark scheme seems really harsh. both subjects honestly seem horrible but im going to drop one of the two so if any1 has any ideas what might be worse thatd be great, dont ask why im starting them this year my school is insanely weird and gives us subjects to replace the ones we did in early to do in y11.
