If you do AQA A, I'd recommend the A2 Complete Comapnion Student Book by Mike Cardwell and Cara Flanagan as the main textbook. I'd supplement it with the Collins Psychology A2 for AQA A and maybe the CGP A2 Level for Psychology AQA A (although I don't use this one so I'm not sure what it's like).
PSYA3: The most common ones (which I think are not too bad) are Aggression and Relationships. I've heard people find Biological Rhythms and Sleep a bit difficult (there's a lot to learn for it). I also do Eating Behaviour which I think is also popular but I'm not a fan of the eating disorder section at the back.
PSYA4: The most common one I think is Schizophenia and Addiction, but I do Depression. Personally, I'm not a fan of Addiction but some teachers say it's easier compared to Anomalistic and Media, but others say Media is the best one.

You know what's funny? I copied out one of the A grade essays from the Collins one about aggression and sent it to my Psychology teacher and he gave me a C. Apparently, the AO2/AO3 wasn't detailed enough or well related to the question.

thank you all, so you agree that the Complete companion is the best. for my As i bought the Nelson Thornes and it was useless, i start using it in the first few chapters and then i realised it was too complicated/ too much for something so simple if you know what i mean. i went through the year with some bits from the student support material Collins and revision notes.
