Hey do you guys know where to get sample essays from, like 'A' grade standard. I keep on being inconsistent in practise essays. Sometimes get an A, most commonly a B, sometimes a C and once even a D. And how many evaluation points do you generally use for A02/3 in the 24 markers?
I'm just making an excessive amount of flashcards and trying to remember each topic back-to-front... It worked for me in the last three exams, so fingers crossed I'll be fine here too!

As for topics, I'm doing relationships, eating behavior and aggression.

Good luck, guys!

If you go to AQA website and teachers content for psychology you see example of A grade essays :smile:
Hello! I'm doing aggression, relationships and gender. All through the year we've been made to do essay plans at the end of every essay's bit of teaching (was pretty much one a week) and whilst it was a ballache at the time, it's useful to have now. My revision consists of summarising those plans onto flash cards that get smaller and smaller until I pretty much know it off by heart. So I'd start with my full essay, condense to a page of A4 notes, then A5, then flash cards... until I'm writing psychology essays in my sleep :wink:

I'm doing the same , psychology is all about memorisation but my teacher keeps asking us compare and contrast questions as she feels it might come out as a 24marker

I'm doing sleep, perception, and eating behaviour. Does anyone have any predictions for any of these?

Sleep: lifespan changes or disrupting biological rhythms

Perception: Prosopagnosia has NEVER come up, and Bruce and Young haven't come up in a while

Also, could the life span changes of sleep come up as like a 16 marker or something as there is not much about it?

Yep, unlikely but it is possible - think narcolepsy has come up before and there is virtually nothing on that!
