Not heavily, no. There is at least one 12 mark essay in each exam normally. I'm doing Edexcel Psychology; there was a 12 marker in each of my AS exams, and in my A2 exams there will be two 12 markers in the 1st exam, one 12 marker and one 18 marker in the second (though, for the 18 marker, 6 marks is for spelling, grammar etc,)

The 18 marker is a synoptic essay and varies, from application in Psychology to research methods. Can be anything

On my board (Edexcel) the 12 marker is normally always Describe and evaluate X, with X being a study, theory, treatment etc.

if you put the hard work in to learn all the material will it still be relatively hard to get a top grade in it?

I'm doing psychology with AQA.
AS you get 1/2 essay questions on each paper (there are 2 papers), which are 12 markers.
Currently I'm doing A2. And the essay questions are 24 marks.
