Here is another essay guys for "Discuss biological therapies for schizophrenia". You can use this essay as a guide in order for you to construct your own essay. I will be uploading more essays in the future onto this thread. Enjoy

1) Aim
2) Procedure
3) Findings
4) Conclusion
Then with a highlighter, highlight any trigger/keywords that will help you remember the information. For example "Bandura et al", "24 male participants", "participants carried out memory test". You could ask your friends to test you on reciting studies as detailed as possible, and if you get stuck they can give you clues to help you remember the studies, so you can learn from each other's mistakes. -

I literally just read over my essays again, again, again, again and again...to the point where I can visualise the essay in my head lol. Or you could just keep writing the essay over and over again. Or what I also do is I create essay plans on cue cards with the main AO1, AO2 and AO3 points in bullet point form. Or you could create audio clips of you reading your essays and then listen to those audio clips when you are free, such as on the way to school or sleeping. -

My college have decided to teach Unit 4 first which we've finished, we're doing:
Depression (hardly anyone seems to be doing this)
Media
and Research Methods
Then for Unit 3 we're doing:
Gender
Relationships
Aggression
I'm not very confident about Unit 4 though as no one in the psychology department is currently doing well, we think we're not being told how to develop our evaluation properly and not able to learn the structure of answering these questions. -

At my college we're doing: Aggression, relationships, sleep, addiction, and schizophrenia!
I'm really loving schizophrenia so far! Also, for the question 'Discuss issues surrounding the diagnosis and classification of schizophrenia' I got 24/24 and made a detailed plan which I could possibly upload at some point! -

Finding relationships as one of the easiest units so far in A2. I did a essay in class and got it marked as a D ( my technique was really wrong!) and then I rewrote it using the feedback I got and my lecturer marked it as a B! So happy, but I need to practice the style I write. We did mocks last week and I ran out of time so had to rush my last essay, but fingers crossed I can get a good grade ☺️

I'm so glad I'm doing Edexcel and not AQA, I wouldn't want to do papers that are made up of just (or mainly) essays.

What are some really good tips for memorising studies in detail?
What I suggest doing is splitting up the studies into APRC and getting a few points for each (obviously aims will be short, as well as conclusions). Then do the same for the evaluation, write down a few concise, summarised points.
I'll attach a quick revision sheet I made this week for Loftus and Palmer's laboratory experiment so you can get a clear idea of what I mean. Yours may well be neater than mine
