I take psychology, and I gotta admit its hard I find it best to study key points about each study and about the psychologist you have studied and then learn pros and cons. its easier to learn a few pros and cons of the study because they can overlap over studies. my method of revising is to make spider diagrams of everything I need to know, theres no point revising irrelevant information
I do OCR, and I don't find it hard to revise. Do mindmaps for each one. Each mind-map on each topic. It's the same 5 headings for me, key concepts, core theory, alternative theory, core study and application. So it's to arrange on the mindmap.
Im doing AQA, my teacher says im good at it, but you know what they say "99% effort and 1% geniuse" so in this case being smart or being dumb ain't gonna help?
