i do aqa and find it hard to study all the content, im in year 12 btw.

hiyaaa i also do AQA and I'm a Year 13 student! Psychology is quite content heavy! Personally, the best way for me to revise is making essay plans! In the Psychology course, you may be asked on theories or explanations that are worth 16 marks (or 12 marks in AS) and it's important when making essay plans - you follow the structure of outline, evidence, evaluation and then perhaps an overall conclusion!

for example, this is a document that i made full of essay plans for the relationships topic (relationships is an optional y13 topic) but you can get a rough idea of what the structure should look like: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hgTg_vELXX1wXO8aGehu21M6eFRt-v02t0_iHXOYYMY/edit?usp=sharing

you can also get involved with the psych study group here: A-level Psychology Study Group 2023-2024 - The Student Room

i am also going to tag in other users who can offer their psychology revision advice! hope this helps a bit @kwakraon :smile:
