Hi all,
I would like to know which psychology textbook is better for A-level but my teachers are telling me different things. My teacher last year used these:
AQA Psychology for A Level Book 1 - Jean Marc Lawton
AQA Psychology for A Level Book 2 - Jean Marc Lawton
My new current teacher recommends these:
AQA Psychology for A Level Year 1 & AS - Student Book - Cara Flanagan
AQA Psychology for A Level Year 2 - Student Book - Cara Flanagan
They are slightly different. The first two are a bit more wordy, but I think they follow the specification a bit better so I'm not really sure. Which ones do you recommend? Or is it better just to get revision guides instead?

I’m doing psychology a-level too and use the Cara Flanagan books in lesson. It’s great for revision and has questions on each page and the online version has quizzes to test yourself with.

For subjects like sociology and psychology I think textbooks are better as your extra marks come from the more wordy explanation. A revision guide will tell you the necessary stuff however you will have to expand on it yourself, so a textbook helps build a stronger explanation. However they are both good options , revision guides suit some people more than others. As for the books I’m not sure but I would say stick to the more wordy one and the one which follows the spec more accurately. Try finding one that is endorsed by the exam board
