there is a website call ' psychology with miss smith' the website helps psychology OCR students, i think there is one on youtube but that helps AQA students. other than that, there are lots of youtube videos on core studies and there are many flashcards on quizlet

Yeah it was good. I did think the paper was greater in difficulty compared to previous year but it was doable

Is any one worried about paper 2 debate essays. I am worried about reliability and scientific essays. And I was told by many people that if the question doesn't explicity tell u to use core studies. U can't use them. So that's making me panic abit

Hi! My Psych Teacher was taking us through section C and she said that the exam board prefer suggestions that can link with psychological theories eg; conditioning and social learning theory because in previous years the examiners report said that students were focusing too much on practical applications so to get better marks and get higher up in the bands focus less on practicalities. Hope this helps!
