The Whole of AQA A-Level Psychology | Approaches in Psychology | Revision for Exams

[@aceena9340]

I have my AS Psychology mock exam tomorrow and was really struggling with the ways both of my psychology teachers had previously taught Approaches in Psychology, watched this video whilst pausing at appropriate times to make notes and word it in my own way which I found very easy and very useful. I'm genuinely feeling a lot better about myself and having felt like I've properly prepared for one of my exams which I can't really say for many other exams so thank you for this video, over a year later and it's helping people like me a lot :)

preparing by making notes isn't preparation for a mock

Would you recommend doing alevel psychology? I was thinking about doing it but a couple people have told me they found it boring. Are you enjoying it?

[@Minahak72]

@@pixam345 I am doing a level psychology right now and I find research methods a bit boring but honestly I love psychology so so much I’m thinking of doing it as a degree. Just do whatever makes you happy and what you like don’t listen to everything others say because everyone has different opinions😁😁😁

[@pixam345]

@@Minahak72 yeah, but I know nothing about what the psychology course will be like. Psychology interests me, but more the mental illness/diagnosing side of it, which I feel is more psychiatrics than psychology. I guess watching some of this video is a good place to start to figure out if the other sections interest me or not. Good to hear your perspective on it, anyway.

@@pixam345 hi! As a former A Level psych student and now at uni here’s the truth about the subject: 1. You are NOT going to dissect a brain or interview a serial killer. Psychology is a lot more about the parts of the brain, maths, and the way humans mentally approach different situations 2. There are a variety of topics. You will be learning things such as ‘Memory’, ‘Social Influence’ so how our brain follows different groups and how we conform, all the way to topics such as ‘Approaches’, so the ways in which we process and deal with our surroundings, and information. For an A Level, it is one with the most variety. 3. There are A LOT of studies. Every theory in psych is backed up by a study. See what I said about science? There’s more than you’d expect. 4. Half of psychology is evaluation. Find any psych textbook and I guarantee that in a double page spread, one of those pages has evaluative points that outline the strengths and weaknesses of a study or theory. Although lots of the evaluation is repeated, often you have to learn another study for this point. Basically, everything you learn is backed up by someone else doing it first. 5. This means there is a LOT to learn for a level psychology, more than a lot of other courses. The content is huge and can be overwhelming for some. I hope you enjoy this honest interpretation from a former a level psych student. I finished last academic year so all this advice is recent! Good luck with your options!!
