AQA AS Psychology PSYA1/PSYA2 Revision Thread 2016

This is for the new specimen.

So far, l have started with revising for attachment with the help from loopa. I have not used some evaluations given by my teachers because l don't find them useful so...l used loopa's AO3 points because they are great.

Don't try get many evaluation points because it would confuse you. :smile:

I'm so scared about paper 2 because we haven't done past papers on paper 2 yet...

I basically have no clue on what the paper looks like.

psychodynamic approach, humanistic approach: we dont have to learn this for AS

comparison is something you should know for the rest of the approaches.

We haven't done any for paper 2 but we have done 2 past papers for paper 1.
The paper has short questions (3-4 marks), long questions (6-8 marks), multiple choice and essay questions which are 12 markers.
:smile:
Guys do you know how many 12 markers will be in each paper?

Usually 2 I'm not sure though
Are the 12 markers that came up in the specimen papers likely to come up again in the real papers?
can anyone share their revision notes if done any?

Im dreading this :/
Biopsychology and approches and research methods are paper 2 right...l'm now confused?

I wouldn't be so sure on it.
They may ask an A01 based on the 12 marker etc but the actual 12 marker I think not.
Could you share some of the evaluation points from Loopa?

For whih topic, memory, social influence or?
Both would be great, but which ever one you think is the most helpful?
Also what techniques are you using to memorise the evaluations and the names of the studies? Thanks!
