Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

AQA Psychology A level 12/16 markers

Do you need to remember all case studies with the main case studies that the spec asks you to remember? Or can I get away with just learning the minimum case studies possible?

if you have time, try to learn the outline of them all. For paper 2, you'll need to know about bandura (SLT), rogerian therapy (Humanistic), Little Hans (psychodynamic), Gage (localisation of function), Sperry & Gazzaniga (split-brain research), and maguire (plasticity)

it depends on what grade you're aiming for. to get an A/A* you'll need to understand other case studies that are relevant to whatever topic you're talking about but not necessarily outlined in the spec (especially for AO3)
