I’m about to start Year 13 and achieved an A in my end of year mock (predicted an A currently, but trying to get this up to an A*). Did you consistently get A*s throughout Year 12 and/or Year 13 or did your grades fluctuate? What methods did you use to achieve an A* and which would you recommend to someone wanting to go from an A to an A*? Do you have any tips for remembering evaluations and/or hitting the top level band on evaluations? Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated

Best advice for remembering content and how got High marks on 16 marker

Hello!! Congrats on getting an A*!!!. I have 2 questions. 1) What were your optional topics for paper 3? 2) Do you have or know anyone that have access to the digital version of the year 2 textbook? (Its okay if you dont, im only asking as i am doing back to school shopping and buying a £30 textbook on top of other things would make it expensive)

Well done on the A*
What would you say was the most useful thing you did that got you the A*?

Definitely the exam questions, I felt like I did so much practice before going into my exam and I tried my best remembering the information. In particular I always used a mini whiteboard and tried to remember the information especially the evaluations for each topic. Also do practice in timed conditions especially for the 16 marker, you do not want to be spending more than 20 minutes each as you will have the other questions to answer.

Is there a lot of maths in psych?

im going into year 12. how did you revise?

The best method is active learning. When revising I always did mind-maps or used my whiteboard to remember information. Exam questions need to be your best friend because you will learn a lot from doing them. Since psychology is content heavy make sure to focus on understanding the content and also the evaluations. As long as you consistently revise you will get a high grade. Hope this helps 😊

Hey thank you so much, so my optional modules were forensic psychology, relationships and schizophrenia. For the book my school gave us a login for everyone to use so try to also ask your school if they give copies out. Otherwise there are several online resources I used like: simplypsychology, learndojo and psychologyalevel. Hope that helps 😊
