Does anyone here actually enjoy taking psychology (aqa) for A-levels?

No I hate psychology as well as all my other a levels lol. Yeah same I feel dead inside as well... how much revision have you done?

I’ve actually spent a lot of time revising but I tend to forget a lot. There’s just so much content and evaluation points to learn! I’ve done a fair amount of essay plans but my memory for psychology is absolutely tragic.

I legit need another yearrrrr

Yeah same but I’m pretty rusty on everything but social influence tbh lol I’m done for 😂 I hate how they’re cramming 2 years worth of content into such a small space of time :/

i feel like screaming,

alevel psych was the worst decision i made.

but im confident for the exam, just need to go over research methods

same tbh and the only topic in psychology I can do is methods. I wonder if the old spec was easier, I remember people calling psychology a 'soft' subject before (which is pretty much why I chose it lol). I was so wrong tsk.


lol I'm the opposite, I'm fine with methods but the rest nuuuuu ;(

what are you stuck on?

Mainly paper 3. I know my content for paper 1 and 2 but it's just that I find it hard to remember them easily especially when it comes to evaluation. Today I was reading through all the 16 marker essay samples for paper 1 and all the content just stressed me out. I just want to try and remember all of them but that would be impossible. There's just so many things to remember! I'm also really anxious on how I'm going to deal with the questions. You know how there should always be a specific way in answering them I wish I started all my essays plans in year 7 lmao

Honestly RM is quite straightforward (apart from statistics) so I’m just hoping a bunch come up in memory, attachment or psychopathology 😂 I think it was easier in the old spec? Lol my brother did it and he got a D

It is literally the hardest and the most boring subject out of my 3 A-levels. I regret taking it so much I enjoy revising for maths and chemistry but when it comes psychology I just get really annoyed and stressed out. Paper 1 is tomorrow and I just feel dead inside.

Honestly, I've been moving like psychology paper 1 is the only exam I'm doing this year so you're wayyy ahead of me with paper 2 and 3. What grade is everyone aiming for?

Completely agree. I'm on the WJEC EDUCAS exam board tho. My paper 1 is also tomorrow and I'm genuinely so nervous! Good luck x

currently hoping I can get atleast a B. I'm doing Forensics, Relationships and Sz for paper 3 and I really don't know how I'll manage them. I pretty much forgot everything on biopsych too even though I revised it two days ago.
