Advice for year 13's.

So, I'm starting year 13. I'm taking AQA psychology, AQA sociology, WJEC criminology, and Epq, and I plan to go to university. Do you have any advice on uni applications, uni suggestions, or revision tips? any a* advice for psychology is especially good!!

Im planning to do a BPS approved bachelors degree in psychology at university with a placement year, i haven't picked a definite university yet tho! After, I would like to take a masters degree to specialise in forensic psychology.

Hi,
So i've just recieved my A level grades in those same qualifications, subjects and exam boards (except I did OCR sociology). I recieved A*A*A*A (the A was in psychology). I recommend past papers and timed essay writing for all of your subjects except EPQ of course. Blurting was my main techniaue by which you take a whiteboard, write down the main content one at a time, erase, and write from memory then repeat until perfection. Don't overload revision on one subject, alternate them everyday. I personally didn't think flashcards helped except for criminology. I've got a lot of advice to hand out for each subject specifically and in more detail, as well as notes if you'd like to purchase. Just message me privately if you need any more advice :smile:

Good luck!
