Effective Strategies for AQA Psychology Success

Psychology AQA A-level has 16 topics across three papers and most students waste time making pretty

notes instead of learning what actually gets marks. I got an A star by focusing only

on essay plans for 16 mark questions because if you can answer those, you can answer everything

else. Each essay needs three evaluation points with research evidence.

I'd write out the whole essay once, then practice writing just the structure over and over.

Memory, attachment, and approaches are the foundations. Learn the key studies

properly with actual procedures and findings, not just the names. For biopsychology, draw the diagrams

repeatedly until you can do them blind. Don't highlight textbooks,
