How can I learn alevel research methods efficiently

learn the definitions - use flashcards
learn the strengths/ limitations for the bits you need to (i.e sampling methods) - i made a spreadsheet and flashcards
practice questions for AO2 questions and the exact wording - the more PQs you do the better and you'll notice patterns of what comes up
really learn the inferential tests (once you've done it obvs)

once you understand the content, flashcards and practice questions are best. you can also try teaching it out loud

Hello @issy arkelaos,

This is great to hear you are working hard for your A-levels!

Simply Psychology website helped me revise the content for psychology, and doing lots of past papers was so beneficial too. You can find these on your exam board’s website. It may also be worth asking your teacher for some resources or extra help.

Hope this helped and let me know if you have any more questions!
