AQA Psychology A2 Thread

Hi guys!

I hope you are all well ☺️ !

I thought that it would help to make a thread for A2 psychology for us all to talk about what modules we were studying and to discuss anything that may be confusing! I found that using TSR last year really helped me when I was unsure and I think it'll help again this year, so fire away!

Amy questions or issues and I'm sure we'll all be able to find an answer to them!

I'm finding it so much harder! I'm sat trying to study for Aggression, which we completed last week and the biological approaches aren't sticking with me at all. Do any of you have revision techniques for those essay's you find harder? I mean the hormonal and neural essay's are difficult. I'm find with genetics for some reason though.

I think we're also studying schizophrenia, we're also doing eating behaviour and aggression for the first paper! I can't believe it's all essay's though 😒

Hey all!

I think this year is much harder than last year since the essays are more vigorous... 3x24 markers in 1.5 hours, imagine that in an exam room with a suddenly blocked mind!

Our school is doing:
Relationships
Sleep and Biological Rhythms
Aggression
Schizophrenia
Psychology of Addiction

Sleep looks so interesting and I don't know how I'm going to fit three essay's in 1.5hours to be honest.mthey'll just have to mark really messy handwriting! Our lecturer is doing a test after half term and we have no clue which aggression essay it's going to be on. She was hinting at a biological one and they're like my worst nightmare!

Don't worry. I'm sure everything will be fine, just keep going over the stuff you've already learnt and I'm sure your lecturer would be happy to help you!

Hi everyone. I retook my AS year since I didn't do as well as I hoped. This was in 2015. However, I also did A2 as well as my AS modules, and manged to get a B for unit 3 and a C for unit 4. I'm currently retaking unit 4 along with my other A2 subjects. The modules I'm doing are Schizophrenia, Media and Research methods.If any of you feel stuck on unit 4 then let me know, I'd be happy to help.

We do gapped essay's in class and then I re-write them up so they look tidy. I will be making resources in the run up to Christmas and then I will start to fit in my proper, serious revision, so questions and past papers, I also do a puzzle where I have to match sentences about a certain topic in order to make a shape.

That happened with my English Literature class and we didn't have a proper member of staff for five weeks of the last half term. I know it's hard, but I'm sure that you will all catch up, is it worth seeing if they will put on any extra classes for you ?
