What topics within A-Level Psychology do you find most challenging/interesting?
Some of the research methods questions' mark schemes can be very specific so I do find it challenging to know the right words to use :s-smilie:

I got an A in AQA alevel psychology. I could have got an A star if i actually went over everything but i got too tired and stopped.The flashcards have all the information you would need for an A or an A star. You can also create your notes from it.Some people might think that there is too much information on each flashcard and might split it up.I used a mix of resources including my teachers slides, booklets, websites and youtube videos.Enjoy.It is an anki deck.Paper 3 topics were: forensics, schizophrenia, gender and issues and debate.https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1528567830

I enjoy watching the occasional documentary my teacher puts on about certain cases!
My favourite topic is psychopathology but i quite like approaches because of its simplicity
