Please help- AQA A-level Psychology

Learn every study named on the specification, every study you've been taught as evaluation - scrap it. Use issuse and debates, ethics and studys named on the spec for AO3 instead, it is so much easier.

For example: Bowlby's theory of attachment
- Schafer and Emerson - Disuptes the idea of a single primary attachment figure as a high proportion of those they studied had dual/shared attachment
- Learning theory - completly different view of attachment, sugests that it is totally learned instead of innate like Bowlby sugests
- Bowlby falls on the nature side of nature -nurture - Belives that social releases and the response to them are innate behaviour. issue as it rules out any potential for learning.
- Reductionistic - Views attachment as simply a action and response through social releases - does not account for a hollistic view of all factors
+ Harlow supports - Comfort mother=responding to social releases

There, 5 different evaluation points without mentioning a study on the spec, give me any essay title (apart from biopsych as it doesn't specify any studys iirc?) and I can do this, so brush up on issues and debates, focus on learning the spec studys, and you can too.

As for learning the studys themselves. Flash cards and essay writing. Basically get an essay title, and write what you can. Then go back to the textbook, flick through the whole section and see what else you can add. Do this for every essay, then re do it.
It's a lot of work I know, probably about an hour per essay but it's not complex to do, and after you do it a couple times you get into the rhythm of it. Be time savvy and focus on paper one and Issues & Debates first s, and you;ll get there,

I'm happy to mark some of your essays if you want, but I'm not gonna guarantee that I'll be totally accurate with my marking, but I'll try to err on the side of the harsh.

I'm an A grade student at AS, predicted an A* this year, so those are my credentials and experience :P

I'm not discrediting your views, but isn't the best way to aim for top marks is to evaluate with other researchers? My teacher keeps telling us that 16 markers are marked hollistically, not just by the amount of points you make, and therefore one with lots of external references will have more depth than one that states how a theory lacks in validity.

I think one of the best ways of learning studies is by flashcards with researchers' names and key statistics. I use Memrise for that where I make my own flashcards for precise invofmation. I also find it useful to sumarise each evaluation point into one word and then making a five letter anagram of all the evaluation to help trigger the rest of the information. Hope this made sense and helps and good luck with your exams
