Psychology revision tips

Hey guys
Just need some help with revision tips for Psychology.. despite doing hours and hours of work I am not improving AT ALL (in fact I'm arguably deteriorating)
Even if I know the content and I feel like I am answering the answers correctly I can't seem to get any better especially on the longer answer questions (16 markers)
So obviously I'm doing something wrong but I'm getting really stressed and panicked with not much time left until exams
So PLEASE HELP!! 😭😭😭😭
May i recommend a website for revision that really helps me : http://www.simplypsychology.org/

This website has helped me revise for a load of tests and 16 markers,

For the 16 markers think of it like this, 6 marks are for theory (AO1) and 10 marks will be dedicated to evaluation points (AO3).

AND REMEMBER TO USE PEEL FOR EVERY PARAGRAPH IN YOUR 16 MARKER
Point Explanation + Evidence Evaluate Link-back to question.

This website should give you an explanation on how to do well in your 16 markers: https://www.loopa.co.uk/how-to-write-aqa-psychology-essays-12-16-markers/

Good Luck :smile:
