I'm loving psychology. I'm better on memory than attachment though but then again my memory teacher gives us more past paper questions than my attachment teacher.
How about you?

I've done some revision for my mock in February but I probably need to step it up a little bit now that it's almost January!

Mock is in January so I hope I do well on that. Good luck for your mock by the way (:

Ooh, interesting question. I haven't really thought about it to be honest. I quite like the 12 markers as my teachers give us structured essay plans which I find easier to remember than remember lots of information and then putting it all together.

Hiya!
I'm really enjoying Psychology, however, I do find that the case studies are quite long. I personally need to work on timing for the 12 mark questions.
In preparation for my mock I had a few weeks ago, I just made little notes on revision cards for the case studies and stated which theories criticizes or are in favour of certain theories, so that I don't get confused. I would probably say I'm more stronger with attachment than memory.
Also do regularly go over the Research Methods, because we were told that last year's Year 12s didn't concentrate much on that as it seemed fairly obvious but it is the part where they lost their marks, but did well on everything else.
If anything, also pay close attention to the evaluations: they are the most important parts of the 12 mark (even though its 6 for AO1 & 6 for AO2 - an argument / viewpoint can impress the examiner, because AO1 is literally facts about the case study - e.g. what they found, psychologists name and discoveries)
Hope this helps/makes sense!

Yeah our teacher gave us all the 12 markers that have ever come up and there's 9 for attachment! So that's pretty crazy. Not sure how many there are for memory though.

I've started making little note cards of each theory and some positives/limitations for each to help with 12 markers. We literally have to know these inside out!

I've got my psychology mock when we go back to sixth form :L
I enjoyed Attachment, but I found Cognitive the most difficult, especially Duration, Capacity and Encoding! It's hard to remember the case studies, like Jacobs' digit span thing and Sperling!
I find writing revision cards really helps, and I've printed out some notes and stuck them on my bedroom walls because I'm a geek

I loved Psychology last year for AS. I'm currently an A2 student.
My results were as follows:
PSYA1 66 (c)
PSYA2 63 (c)
The 12-mark questions for June 2013 were:
PSYA1
"Outline and evaluate research into cultural variations in attachment"
PSYA2
"Outline and evaluate research into life changes and/or daily hassles as sources of stress"
Good luck to all!
