For Psychology, I'd just practice essay structures and questions, as well as learning evaluation points. If you're doing the whole A-Level for Psychology, do you know what option topics you're doing? Also, I'd suggest making flashcards with key studies on and key words, so you can use them in exams to get more marks. I didn't do History, but I'd also practice questions and make flashcards. However, use a learning style that works best for you.

I did A Level History and found one of the hardest things about it was the exam technique. You might need a tutor to look at your essays to make sure you're structuring them right. An essay with A* content but poor structure will get you a D.

Hey!
I’m a student who’s mostly self teaching both this subjects due to illness (although I’m technically still registered at sixth form, my attendance is unfortunately super low)
AQA Psychology - Best tip, get the textbooks. The AS and A2 textbooks, alongside the exam companions. The thing with psychology is no wider reading is necessary so if you learn the content in the textbooks, apply it correctly, that’s enough for a good grade!
For history, I take different modules. But, researching around the topic and not just reading textbooks is good. Looking at historians interpretations, establishing a good essay structure, will help a bunch.

It's a shame I didn't do any of those topics. No worries about the advice either, I'm happy to help. Would you like any website links for resources?
