A-level Psychology Revision – Study & Revise Psychology to A* Standard
I have taught AQA A-level Psychology for 20 years.
I have a huge amount of experience as an examiner.
I am a seasoned professional and know exactly what I am doing.
About 50% of my work has involved tuition for Psychology students who had failed or scored low grades in A-level Psychology first time around in a previous school/college. I have often taken these students up 2, 3 or 4 grades in 9 months, 6 months, even 3 months.
The more I taught, the more it became apparent that even students who had worked hard still failed due to reasons beyond their control:
Poor quality notes from their teachers.
Poor quality teaching – full-stop.
Using text books which either didn’t include enough detail or overwhelmed them with too much detail, explained things badly and were poorly written.
Lack of understanding of how to apply skills in the right place in the right way in the exam. As an examiner, I am always seeing what might appear to be excellent essays score low grades simply due to a lack of understanding of what the exam board actually want in an answer.
I hate waste and wasted effort, and it drives me crazy to see Psychology A-level students floundering with poor notes and poor teaching when they could be calm, organised and in control.
Over the years I developed a set of Psychology A-level notes, model answers and strategy & skills guidelines for students. These notes:
Are written simply and clearly and cut back to the bones of what’s needed to score 100%.
Are concise – notes and model answers include just the right amount of information needed in the exam – not too little, not too much – and they include the right balance of skills to score maximum marks. They are easy to learn and easy to remember.
Explain theories, studies, terminology and points of analysis, interpretation and evaluation clearly and simply.
Include strategy & skills guidelines which explain exactly what AQA are looking for in terms of how your answer is structured.
Include a week-by-week programme of study for students to follow over 2 years, 9 months, 6 months or 3 months with week-by-week homework assignments, and a week-by-week Psychology A-level revision schedule to get you organised and tell you exactly what you should be doing in the months leading up to the exam.
Together, these Psychology A-level resources represent the simplest, most straight-forward and effective method of understanding how to pass Psychology A-level at A* standard.
