AQA GCSE Psychology Evaluations

For a 9-mark describe and evaluate question or 5-mark evaluate question do you need 5 evaluations or will less but more developed points be better?

Hi, I'm doing aqa gcse psych too rn, to maximise my marks on eval parts/questions, i treat a developed point to be worth 2-3 marks. If its a 5-mark question/part, aim to do one fully developed point and one fairly good point, or do 3 fairly good ones. I usually structure it to have: 1. a point, 2. a reason as to why this point is true or exists, 3. a consequence due to this, 4. how this affects the overall study. 3 and 4 are kind of similar, but if you can properly distinguish them, that will probably ensure your point is 3 marks.

If you need me to explain anything in more detail, feel free, i doubt i've said it very clearly.. :smile:
