Hello - nice to see another Emmanuella on Grow your Grades ! I also do AQA Psychology, and I find it easier to make essay plans for each topic !

Excited to see what you get up to on this academic journey of yours!

great! i think we have met on here like recently aha
but yes we have done approaches in psychology and we are doing biopsycholgy and research methods, then soon we will do psychopathology
I am making essay plans for all the approaches for the16 markers/8 marker evaluation questions

yayyyy - great to hear !

oh thats cool, i hate the textbooks tho
I did AQA sciences at gcse
I guess ur aiming for A/A* since you want to study bio at uni
do you have any advice to help me achieve that

I use the old 2008/9 textbooks which I have no strong feelings towards (except the one particularly disgusting picture in the year 2 textbook). I did Edexcel sciences at GCSE so I was used to it.

I'm aiming for A/B in biology (although an A* would be nice). I make my own flashcards online (so I can't lose them) using StudySmarter - I can tailor them to what I struggle with. Practise questions are also very important (I get a lot given from my teachers, so if you don't already it may be worth asking them). You can also look at AS questions as well as they are pretty much the same.

okay thankss
I would do u mean by distigusting pic in a year 2 bio textbook aha im curious now

It is a picture of maggots eating a wound on somebody's foot (someone kindly covered it in my copy of the textbook).

oh ew yes tbh sometimes thats the reason I flip through pages quickly in a bio textbook, I got jump scared bad a few times before ( i know it sounds pathetic lol)

Topic 6 can be quite unpleasant at times (you need to know in detail how a dead body decomposes)

oh lovely

you can now prepare yourself for that, wish I'd known lol

okay is there anything else haha for me mentally prepare for lol

not really I don't think so but if you don't like bugs you may not be so fond of the lifecycle of a fly
