Hi all,
Thought I'd start a thread for the AQA A Psychology PSYA3/PSYA4 exams that some of you will be taking next year. I studied this last year so if anyone would like any help for revision, feel free to ask.

Hey, although I never studied phobias, I did study addiction which in my opinion was the most difficult topic because there were so much to learn! But I'm sure you'll be fine. I thought research methods was going to be really hard because it seemed to include a lot of maths which is my worst subject, but it was surprisingly fine since a lot of it is really simple stuff. I was a bit unprepared for some parts of the research methods (and they came up in the exam!) like the main features of a science, how to write a research report etc but I still did alright. When are you doing the exam, January or June?

I do. I have essays on all aggression topics, however they are a bit long and could do with some condensing! If you want them I can e-mail them to you, just PM me your address.

- Aggression
- Relationships
- Cognition and Development
Also some advice on the timing. Seems really, really harsh. O_O
