Hi! I do IB psychology which i guess is slightly different from A level but I can still give you tips that have helped me... I generally just keep completing SAQ's and ERQ's and have my teacher mark them, I then memorise the corrections and apply it to future answers... in terms of grappling with the insane amount of studies we have to learn I honestly just sit and memorise mainly what they're about... it's quite difficult to remember all the sample sizes and dates etc, but if you categorize them such that you associate certain studies to biological approach for example and others to cognitive approach, it makes it far easier to learn all the niche details as the info is kinda stored in different parts of your memory due to associating it with specific topics... Idk if that really makes sense but it works for me!
