A-Levels Mock Exams Thread (2014 - 2015)

I thought most mocks were done just before or just after Christmas. March seems too late to be thinking about mocks. you should be thinking about the real things at that stage!

its not march love, my mock exam for biology is on friday, was only wondering what came up on last years

Erm...it was a general reply to the thread. Not to you. "Love".

Congratulations for an amazing mock results! Can I please ask, what was your revision technique for getting an 'A' in Psychology!? I've got my actual mocks in March and on my practice mock in January, I got a 'B' in Psychology (Probably because I didn't do 1 of the 12 marks question :3)

Oh i apologise i thought you asked me, im new to the student room

Sorry again

Thanks... I'm studying A2 at the moment, just to let you know. Which unit is your mock actually on? To be honest with you, Psychology is about how much you can remember, So for each potential essay question, I ensured that i could outline at least 2 studies in a good amount of detail and evaluate them. Before you go into the exam, someone should be able to ask you a potential 12 marker and you should be able to briefly explain the studies you are going to use and outline them. Mind maps help with memory organisation and being able to remember exactly what points you are going to include in each potential essay. But most importantly, I wrote out every potential essay several times until I could remember it of by heart. It's tiring, but it is worth it.

I hope I've helped

I'm studying A2 as well Last mock, it was on PSYA3 (Aggression, Gender and Relationships)+research Methods and for this upcoming March, it will be on PSYA3 AND PSYA4(Schizophrenia and Addiction,including research methods) so there's going to be a lot to learn Mindmap's don't really help me but I'll do the learning 2 studies bit! I'll learn at least 2 studies for each one and from those studies, it should be simple and manageable to extend on evaluation points! That's also the only way I revise for the mocks, just keep re-writing potential essays....it is too much effort and I get bored easily, but it is worth it if I get a good grade! Thanks for the help

Ohh I thought your practice mock was on either unit 1 or 2 as you referred to the 12 marker haha. For the 24 markers at A2, 2 studies alone won't be enough. I suggest being able to outline in good detail, 2 studies, then be able to evaluate them both using more research. E,g, this study is supported by research from..... however, this research from (insert name) refutes this. To get an the top grades, B, A and A*, your AO3 needs to be on point. I'd say include at least 3 IDA's in good detail.

Is 66 marks at least an A in D1 paper?

Your best bet would be too look back at old grade boundaries for the best estimate
