HOW I GOT AN A* IN PSYCHOLOGY A-LEVEL / REVISION ADVICE

[@hannahg6627]

a couple of other tips from someone who also got an a* (: - you don’t need to know the names of psychologists who did supporting studies (so anything you use for a03), you can just say ‘a psychologist’ - for research methods always write your answer to a question, then go back and add an extra sentence to EVERY question. They always want weirdly specific answers and for me it was that extra point that got me the mark. - if you struggle with stats tests look up ‘carrots should come mashed with swede under roast potato’ and thank me later -if flash cards aren’t your thing do essay plans instead (one a4 for each essay). You can basically work out all possible essays pretty much for each topic, so if you plan them that’s literally all your notes done.

[@jamilrana4116]

How many A01 points and A03 points did you do per essay plan on average? Thanks

[@hannahg6627]

Jamil Rana I never learnt a specific amount of a01, I’d just learn the essentials for each topic. For a03 I used to do 6-8 really brief ones because I personally found that much easier to remember than 3-4 in depth ones but that’s obviously very dependent on how you work and remember stuff

[@simoneoliver7379]

Do you need to remember the dates of experiments?

[@hannahg6627]

@@simoneoliver7379 the only ones I ever learnt were the key ones you needed to know for ao1, didn't have a clue for any if my evaluation studies unless I planned to talk about temporal validity etc.

[@simoneoliver7379]

Hannah G So I don’t need to know when Milgram or Baddeley did their experiments?

Summary of points/advice: 12:09

[@shahebmiah2492]

I always thought that typing it down was much easier because when I write down notes most of the time It doesn't feel organised for me and most of the time I would need to rewrite it to make it sound more sense and satisfying which just make everything long.

[@kylevannucci3867]

thanks soo much ive missed out on a lot on content and now i have started year 13 today and i have mocks in less than a week i am definitely going to revise those research methods

[@Jasmine-pe5hy]

Your advice are so clear and is on point whereas other KZbinrs they just try to long out everything. Is like I have so much time to revise for one subject. I wish you could give advice on other subjects. Btw just love you videos.

When your teacher is new so she can't teach well so you gotta self teach cause exams are in April 🙋‍♀️

might be a bit late but psych boost on KZbin is really good, ive missed so many lessons and that channels saved me honetsly

How did you revise research methods? It’s roughly 30% of the whole a level.

[@HaneekaThandi]

G P ^^

[@GP-eq3gh]

@@HaneekaThandi finished my a levels, make sure u use active recall and spaced repetition. Watch ali abdaal on YT. It’ll help u get top grades. For RM just use the specification as a checklist and do a lot of questions once you’ve learnt the content. Also, they repeat a lot of topics like statistical tests.

[@Nrm1207]

I didn’t pay much attention in year 12, Do you think it’s possible to learn it all plus the year 13 content before a levels?? I’m so scared

[@GP-eq3gh]

ASMRunicorn07 what you have to do to not flop is start now even if its year 12 content. Do not revise the day before. You have to spread out your revision. I didn’t do good this year. But what i did notice is the topics that i revised months before, i did good in. The ones i did the day before i failed. Start now! I did my a levels and flopping is the worst feeling.

[@fairuzmaliha8875]

From where you are taking the notes? Can you name the resources? And videos based on the syllabus actually I am self studying Edexcel Psychology so I don't know what to study and from where to study
