Yep. No need to evaluate, etc.

Check AQA's mark schemes for examples.

Compared to A2 I can see it is easier, although I probably won't get a pass still. How about you?

Oh and have you seen a PSYA2 forum going around??

A2 oh god that will be the death of me!

I think I'll get higher though (I got a E) in my PSYA2 so that's why I'm resitting.

I can't find one tbh, I did start one however nobody responded.

Doing something similar to the old read, write, cover, write trick.

Read the study, copy down the study, read over it again, cover the study and write down what you remember. If you miss anything out - repeat the process till you fully smash the study.

Also past papers, they are the best.

That's a good idea, I've been having a hard time remembering some of the studies. Thank you so much

when it comes to studies in my notes I put them in the shortest form so in the exam I can easily expand for instance if I was making the point

"Kiecolt Glaser used 75 medical students as participants in his research into exam stress and the immune system"

I would write "kiecolt glaser, 75 med students, exams + I.S (immune system)"

I usually shorten phrases for example "daily hassles" DH, "life changes" LC

for my AO2 what I do is like under the study do a tick and a cross and just list the AO2, in the tick I do the strengths, cross I do the weakness. Hope that helps, need any more help/notes/discussion feel free to message me - I don't mind typing my notes up for people.
