Psychology Sites

Does anyone know any good websites that I can use to revise for A2 Level?

Cheers

Websites, no. But I thoroughly recommend the book "Essential A2 psychology" by Richard Gross and Geoff Rolls. It's a huge great purple and white thing. :biggrin:

I was asked in a message what wonderful resources my IB Psych teacher used. I have no idea where she got the bulk of her photocopies from, but here's some of them, for the benefit of all you psych students out there:

http://web.isp.cz/jcrane/IB/Psych.html a site by a great IB teacher in Prague.

www.geocities.com/jatwood1971/ another site by another great IB teacher in Taipei.

http://www.ryerson.ca/%7Eglassman/Frame.html a site by the guy who wrote our main textbook, William Glassman, "Approaches to Psychology" - which is good, but superficial at some points

"Psychology in Perspective" by Carol Tavris - my teacher loves this book an has practically photocopied the entire thing for us.

"Foundations of Psychology" by Nicky Hayes - we got this as a supplementary textbook. Good for another point of view on some perspectives.

Also the Oxford revision guide series makes a good Pyschology review book for A-Level Psych, which we also used for IB.

Our class also compiled a list of key terms and studies on each perspective which are good to refer to in exams. I'm pretty sure I have them on my laptop for Biological, Cognitive, Learning and Cultural perspective. I'll post those later if I can find them on my computer...

I'm sure there's plenty more out there.. anyone want to add to the list?

It's good for the basics, with some exercises and practice questions and stuff.
