Hi @chrio

I previously studied Edexcel A-Level Psychology. I actually found looking in-depth at the mark scheme and writing from the mark scheme very useful! The mark scheme states what the exam board is looking for you to write to get the marks. A textbook may have 12 points but the mark scheme will outline which of those 12 points are good enough to get you the marks.

Additionally, there is no set amount of hours that you should study a day. Look at your schedule and other commitments that you have to see how much you can realistically study without burning yourself out.

I hope that helps!
