I did aqa psychology and I have been predicted an A*. To revise for psychology I mainly revised in the teaching style. Where you write notes on a white board (I have a large one) or paper and pretend you’re teaching it to someone (I talk out loud to myself in my room). Then rub it off and then reteach it (say it out loud again) as I’m reteaching it I write it down again as well. Then finally I try to say it out for a third time without looking at the white board. But if I need help I quickly look down. I really don’t find flash cards work for me. But this teaching method and mind maps work so well for me. Furthermore, you don’t need to know all of the researchers names (like the psychologists mentioned in the AO3/ evaluation. You can just say research has show or a psychologist found). Also you do not need to know years and statistics do not need to be exact as long as you say a similar number. To anyone taking psychology I suggest you look at issues and debates as soon as possible as you can always use it evaluations if you forget some. As to get an A* in A2 you need to have 4-5 thoroughly developed evaluation points. If anyone would like anymore help or advice you can DM me on Instagram @studywithclair
Also I recommend reading ahead. For me I always did this on the train before class unless I’d already made the notes. In my second year I made my notes before class so I already had an understanding. I have digital notes on nearly all of the topics. I also did the same A2 topics as Rhiannon. I did Forensic psychology, Gender and Schizophrenia as well as issues and debates as I already said I suggests issues and debates even if you’re in AS
I love the idea of the teaching style! definitely going to give that a go next year as flashcards are so tedious! thank you for sharing :) And yeah you're right about knowing the AO3 psychologists but i quite like to know them because it gives me a prompt for the whole evaluation point if you get me, I didn't really explain that fully. and you are right about the stats too but I try to get them exact for topics like cross cultural variations of attachment or Asch's variations because it will make me look like I know what I'm talking about haha. xxx
I tried to learn as many AO3 psychologists as possible but towards the end of the year it became quite difficult. My fault though for not continuously going over AS content. I only put that so that any potential AS students don’t feel they need to know them all because teachers love to tell students to learn them. I’m my first year my teacher told us to learn the dates too
yeah I totally get you as it can be quite overwhelming! Your teacher told you to learn the dates though! thats ridiculous, I would never be able to learn those! xx
I’ve just finished Psychology A-Level as a whole and have my results day on the 16th 😭😱! I revised by creating mindmaps and adding cues to them to jog my memory, as well as also having a colour scheme for each section helped me visually remember what goes where, both aqa textbooks (as & a level) have revision summaries after each chapter so i just kept writing those out, adding bits to them and also testing my memory 👍🏻 x
@@edenschannel101 I found it alright - although I did also get a medical degree! I have an entire TH-cam channel dedicated on how to study if that helps! Have a good day
I'm going into year 13 and study Psychology. My best revision tip are flashcards as there is so much content! I also have a whiteboard that enables me to test myself as there are a lot of case studies to learn!
Perfect mix for becoming a midwife. As a doctor, I know lots of midwives. What I would say is that if you want to become a midwife it's really important to get work experience. You will be competing against a lot of mature students who have worked as nurses or HCAs for many years. I'm thinking of doing a video on all this sort of stuff on my channel! We'll see!

don’t let not understanding science stop you from taking psychology, I’ve started it this year (I’m in yr 12) and I take a long time to process and remember science stuff but biopsychology is the unit I’ve done best in ( I’ve done research methods and approaches so far) But yh, it’s good, I think there’s quite a few people in my class who failed most of their sciences but are like top of the class Good luck with whatever you choose though x
relax!! it's only the biopsychology topic that really requires a bit of science knowledge (the rest isn't as sciency in my opinion) and the amount of science knowledge required is the kind of stuff you learn at GCSE if not less so you'll get it x
Cristina R tbh I’m not that good at science either but psychology is not all science there’s so much more, if you listen to your teacher and your on it with your revision then it shouldn’t stop you from doing good in psychology even though I’m not that good at science I still choose it because I find it interesting
We have virtually opposite experiences! I was one of about 6 people in my class who took GCSE Psychology, and it’s safe to say that pretty much anyone who didn’t reeeally struggled when they started in year 12. At GCSE we learn a lot of social influence & memory topics, a long with some of psychopathology, research methods & some other topics. That’s why we had to work way less to understand because we already knew a lot of studies etc already - also we knew how to phrase and all of our answers, so generally we had way more experience. For my Psychology experience so far, having the GCSE isn’t necessary but is soooo helpful😊
I wrote all my notes as essay plans on every single 16 marker i could get and then transferred them to flash cards and then went through them and wrote each one from memory on a mini whiteboard and sorted it into ‘wrong’ and ‘right’ piles and did the ‘wrong’ pile again and again until i knew it all. I didn’t revise research methods enough so that’s why i think I got an A even though i was predicted and go A*s all year (i’m happy with my A!)
My teacher was practically useless. I have about a sixth of the stuff that you do in my folder. She never gave us PowerPoints, only class activities that were over after five minutes and never get looked at again. My most valuable resource has been my textbook and looking over it by myself. I personally find the content quite easy to remember after having my topic test, so I’m quite lucky that even though I had so little to revise from, I was able to understand it.
@@aazeem398 there are different scales. Subjects like econ , biology and most humanities subjects tend to have more content to learn. While some subjects just happen to have less content which is more advanced. Imo, the latter needs less time than the former
as a psychology year 12 student about to sit my mock I can tell u that psychology is not that easy! well, some of it seems like common sense to me but the harder stuff is memorising all the case studies. A 12 marker might need 4 case studies (1 or 2 for the AO1 and 2 or 3 for AO3) and in 1 paper there are two 12 markers and at AS u do 2 papers. and adding onto to that there are questions that ask for limitations and strengths of a study or evaluating it. that's a LOT of case studies to know. u need to be good at remembering the stats in it too overall I love psychology I just hate hate hate the exam
I'm doing a level psychology and am aiming for an A*. To revise I tended to make sure I had a full set of notes which I turned over and then blurted down everything I could think of on that double page spread. I would then refer to my full set of notes to see what I missed and I kept doing this process until I felt like I was confident. Later that day or the next day I would then do it again with my full set of notes not in sight to see if I still remembered the information.
I’m rlly interested in doing psychology at alevel , I’m predicted a 9 in English and 7 in science ( I enjoy both ) however I hate maths and got a 5 , would I struggle ?
i'm a Romanian and i'm taking A levels in Biology and Psychology in my last years of high school, after being my whole life in a romanian school system. Biology is literally consuming me, made me lose and gain my confidence on and off and overall is the reason of my breakdowns every other day, HOWEVER psychology is chefs kiss, in my opinion. I want to go to a Biology University (shockingly) bc apparently in university is EASIER, but for now psychology really is the best and a must A level to take.
Thank you this was really helpful, I am definitely more confident about going into the subject for A Levels. I'm more excited that anything 😁 thanks for the help!!
My teacher doesn’t like texts book either but that green haired girl and the pink haired girl(😭) book it’s helpful apparently since my teacher usually gets her information from teacher but if your teacher is a good teacher the resource she or he gives in class should be enough for you to revise from but every teacher is different I was personally blessed with a good teacher but I know some can a bit ehhh 😒 so if buying a book helps you go ahead(they are a bit pricey might wanna get second hand)
people are recommending me to take Psychology, is it worth the try? I don't know anything about it but I heard there's lots of writing that we have to do
I really really would love to go into either psychology or law and I know that I would need to do a levels for that however I HATE the idea of a levels because I struggle more with testing and would much more like to do a vocational qualification however I understand that it would be very difficult for me to get a degree in law or psychology without an a level of you have any advice lmk please I’m desperate
Elle Grantham Hi, I cant speak much about psychology as I haven’t done it yet but plan on switching to it (im most the way through year 12 and just hate one of my subjects) but I am top of my class in law. My main recommendation to see if you will like Law is to buy the aqa (or whatever exam board you will be doing) a level Law book for year one. You can see the topics you will be learning and how it is taught.
I NEED HELP !!!! I dropped psychology AS in January and I’m thing of picking it back up again before September but I’m struggling on whether to redo AS for next year or continue with A2 and revise the content that I missed and do and exam at the start of September. Do you think A2 is harder than AS by a lot cuz I want to pick it up again as a fourth subject ( doing chem, bio and maths ) since I REALLY Loved doing it and it was heart breaking to drop it since I was almost failing at all my subject but now that I’m managing the three to a decent grade ( A’s and B’s ). I’m in y12 at the moment and because of all the things that’s going on ( corona) I might have a chance to revisit the content now as there is no schools open( or very vew are going) .
hi, im taking psychology without GCSE and i have to choose 2 more subjects thinking to take business studies and law but need guides about the combination of these 3.and plz guide me which books are prefect of these subject as i haven't buy any.your support will be appreciated
Thank you for this!! I'm doing gcse psychology atm and wondering whether I should take it for a level. I'm thinking of doing bio chem and maths, and either business, economics or psychology, and I might go for psychology after watching this!
im doing psychology, economics and history. i would choose economics over business just because its more interesting but i think business might be easier but idk.
McNooby Economics is pretty tough. If you’re not genuinely interested in economics you’ll get frustrated and regret it very quickly. If you are bad at essay writing it’ll be a struggle too. But if you’re interested, that will make it so much easier.
A level Psychology is quite easy to me tbh, the easiest A level subject. You just have to learn a lot of things and there is noting nerve-wreckling and all questions on exams are straightforward.
I do art geography English and biology and I want to drop English and biology and pick up psychology. The problem with doing this is I will be half a terms worth of work behind in psychology, so I will need to catch up with a lot of work. My teachers are saying I shouldn't pick up psychology, but I really want to because I really reallyyyyy don't like bio or english. Both my parents are psychologists so can help me, and with lockdown coming up I will not be leaving my house anyway- so Ill have to work. I am so much more interested in psychology and I think I will be able to catch up. What do people think???? (I got an A in all sciences and an A in maths so I do have the grades I need to do psychology).
idek there was a GCSE for it (wasn't an option at my school) but I'm doing it for a level in September because it sounded interesting and I'm just browsing around to see what it's about and what to learn. Also my sixth form has limited options of a level but I'm doing maths physics chem too (further maths if I get an 8 in maths). Thank you this video was really helpful. I'm planning on doing it for AS though so I can focus more on the other subjects in A2.
I’m thinking of taking psychology but I’m so scared and nervous because I am so bad at maths, science etc I’m more of a art person but I want to take it because it’s interesting but I’m scared I might have trouble with it. Do you think it’s safe that I take psychology?
I started doing Edexcel A level Psychology and I will be self studying so can anyone help me that which resources should I use and which youtube channels should I watch?
Hi, I’m a year 12 student who’s trying to do Psychology and was wondering if you could help me out. I got 5-4 in double science which isn’t great especially since my school requires a 6-6 to take Psychology. The head of department said the main thing is biology since Psychology is a lot of bio. I was just wondering what in terms of biology is it that’s in psychology? I know that it’s to do with the brain, but is there anything else because in double science we did nothing to do with the brain so it’s not really a fair indicator of anything bc I have 0 knowledge about the brain from biology lessons anyway.
things like the nervous system, fight or flight response, endocrine system, the brain as you said & synaptic transmission is what i can think of off the top of my head.
Do you think someone who only got 4s in maths and science should still consider taking psychology or would sociology be more suited, because of there being less maths and science?
Honestly the maths in psychology is really not difficult and literally stuff you learn before year 10. On the aqa psychology spec there’s a section at the bottom which tells you about the maths skills you need if you want to read through that. And honestly I don’t know too much about sociology as my school doesn’t even offer it so I don’t really want to advise you on which is better to take. I think they’re pretty similar in difficulty, work load and learning style so I’d really just go for whatever interests you the most :) I definitely wouldn’t say don’t do it though because it’s not a hard subject compared to things like actual science or maths xx
Not sure on what career I want but i think I’m taking biology, psychology and history for a level. Obviously depending on my results after GCSES have been done! I’m not the best at maths or revision as of now, would you recommend psychology for me or not? I find the idea of it interesting but I’m so worried there’s going to be so many statistics I just can’t comprehend Also could you do one of these for history if you haven’t already please
Not too many but maybe some routines. I don't plan on buying new stationery this year as I already have plenty, I hate what's in my bag videos and I can't think of others right now so I guess I'll just see what inspiration strikes ahah xx
I’ve just finished my GCSE’s and I applied for A level English at my college and they asked me to pick two other A levels they gave me the choice of Sociology, Criminology and Psychology I’m definitely picking sociology and now I have the choice of Criminology and Psychology I haven’t done a GCSE in either of them so I have no idea what to expect. Anyone who has done this a levels I would really appreciate if you could tell me about your experience
I'm thinking of Psychology, Sociology, Eng Lit and either Bio/Economics/Global Perspectives Is this a good mix for going further in Psychology? Which subject do you recommend as a fourth. I hope you reply immediately since I'm really confused and getting into alevels
@@tursigaganeshabawan9558how was english lit? im doing it next year . im predicted an 8 but im worried about the amount of books u have to read for alevel
Are the essays in psychology a level similar to the type of essays in English gcse? Just wondering, since I hated English at gcse and couldn’t write good enough essays :(😭 I would say I’m definitely more of a sciency person x
out of my 4 a levels of bio maths chemistry and psychology. psyc is the easiest by far. i think the only subjects easier are business and sociology from what I'm told

Do you think A2 is harder than AS by a lot cuz I want to pick it up again as a fourth subject ( doing chem, bio and maths ) since I REALLY Loved doing it and it was heart breaking to drop it since I was almost failing at all my subject but now that I’m managing the three to a decent grade ( A’s and B’s ). I’m in y12 at the moment and because of all the things that’s going on ( corona) I might have a chance to revisit the content now as there is no schools open( or very vew are going) .
Y’all Tutor2u 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Anyone use Seneca for psychology?? Just wondering if it’s useful because i use it for GCSEs x
hi, im taking psychology without GCSE and i have to choose 2 more subjects thinking to take business studies and law but need guides about the combination of these 3.and plz guide me which books are prefect of these subject as i haven't buy any.your support will be appreciated
Thank you for this!! I'm doing gcse psychology atm and wondering whether I should take it for a level. I'm thinking of doing bio chem and maths, and either business, economics or psychology, and I might go for psychology after watching this!
im doing psychology, economics and history. i would choose economics over business just because its more interesting but i think business might be easier but idk.

Economics is pretty tough. If you’re not genuinely interested in economics you’ll get frustrated and regret it very quickly. If you are bad at essay writing it’ll be a struggle too.
But if you’re interested, that will make it so much easier.
You are amazing!
Do you have to be good at English to do psychology?
I do OCR psychology and I revise by making notes on the core studies, flash cards on studies, mind maps showing the links between debates etc
Hey, do you still have your revision notes?
What were your GCSE requirements for psychology?
for me it’s just to pass english and science
What kind of stuff do you learn in psychology?
A level Psychology is quite easy to me tbh, the easiest A level subject. You just have to learn a lot of things and there is noting nerve-wreckling and all questions on exams are straightforward.
I just started wish me luck + any tips ?
I do art geography English and biology and I want to drop English and biology and pick up psychology. The problem with doing this is I will be half a terms worth of work behind in psychology, so I will need to catch up with a lot of work. My teachers are saying I shouldn't pick up psychology, but I really want to because I really reallyyyyy don't like bio or english. Both my parents are psychologists so can help me, and with lockdown coming up I will not be leaving my house anyway- so Ill have to work. I am so much more interested in psychology and I think I will be able to catch up. What do people think???? (I got an A in all sciences and an A in maths so I do have the grades I need to do psychology).
idek there was a GCSE for it (wasn't an option at my school) but I'm doing it for a level in September because it sounded interesting and I'm just browsing around to see what it's about and what to learn. Also my sixth form has limited options of a level but I'm doing maths physics chem too (further maths if I get an 8 in maths). Thank you this video was really helpful. I'm planning on doing it for AS though so I can focus more on the other subjects in A2.
Is it more like RE writing or history writing or english essays?
Hi sorry to ask a daft question but are you allowed to take any reading material or books into the exam with you? Thank you and well done!
I’m thinking of taking psychology but I’m so scared and nervous because I am so bad at maths, science etc I’m more of a art person but I want to take it because it’s interesting but I’m scared I might have trouble with it. Do you think it’s safe that I take psychology?
Maariyah i hate psychology atm... it is so long, boring and awful
Heyy i am abit confused
I am from commerce background and in alevels i took commerce too if i take physocology ll i be able o graduate in that subject
I started doing Edexcel A level Psychology and I will be self studying so can anyone help me that which resources should I use and which youtube channels should I watch?
Do you have to be good at science or English to take this subject. I might pick it for a levels.
So helpful!
Hi, I’m a year 12 student who’s trying to do Psychology and was wondering if you could help me out. I got 5-4 in double science which isn’t great especially since my school requires a 6-6 to take Psychology. The head of department said the main thing is biology since Psychology is a lot of bio. I was just wondering what in terms of biology is it that’s in psychology? I know that it’s to do with the brain, but is there anything else because in double science we did nothing to do with the brain so it’s not really a fair indicator of anything bc I have 0 knowledge about the brain from biology lessons anyway.
things like the nervous system, fight or flight response, endocrine system, the brain as you said & synaptic transmission is what i can think of off the top of my head.
Do you think someone who only got 4s in maths and science should still consider taking psychology or would sociology be more suited, because of there being less maths and science?
Honestly the maths in psychology is really not difficult and literally stuff you learn before year 10. On the aqa psychology spec there’s a section at the bottom which tells you about the maths skills you need if you want to read through that. And honestly I don’t know too much about sociology as my school doesn’t even offer it so I don’t really want to advise you on which is better to take. I think they’re pretty similar in difficulty, work load and learning style so I’d really just go for whatever interests you the most :) I definitely wouldn’t say don’t do it though because it’s not a hard subject compared to things like actual science or maths xx
Rhiannon okay thank you! X
Would you film a video about planing or something about it?
Im taking psychology in September
I really like it but im scareddd
I want 2 aswell I'm down for triple health and social but maybe I may do Double hsc and psychology
Sameee I’m so scared I really want to do well
@@madinaasaerah5422 i took it and so far its going great
Wbu?
Not sure on what career I want but i think I’m taking biology, psychology and history for a level. Obviously depending on my results after GCSES have been done!
I’m not the best at maths or revision as of now, would you recommend psychology for me or not? I find the idea of it interesting but I’m so worried there’s going to be so many statistics I just can’t comprehend
Also could you do one of these for history if you haven’t already please
Since you commented this 4 years ago I'm just interested how was A levels and if you now know what career you're following!
Woho new video thanks. Are you planning on doing back to school videos. 😘😘
Not too many but maybe some routines. I don't plan on buying new stationery this year as I already have plenty, I hate what's in my bag videos and I can't think of others right now so I guess I'll just see what inspiration strikes ahah xx
Rhiannon thanks I understand 🙌😂😂😂
I’m thinking of doing Psychology, English Literature and Maths
I’ve just finished my GCSE’s and I applied for A level English at my college and they asked me to pick two other A levels they gave me the choice of Sociology, Criminology and Psychology I’m definitely picking sociology and now I have the choice of Criminology and Psychology I haven’t done a GCSE in either of them so I have no idea what to expect. Anyone who has done this a levels I would really appreciate if you could tell me about your experience
I’ve got an exam in 2 months, I signed up last minute for psychology a levels, I know nothing about it and I need to pass this desperately. Help.
same
Is psychology, IT and philosophy a good combo for A levels?
very helpful!
I'm thinking of Psychology, Sociology, Eng Lit and either Bio/Economics/Global Perspectives
Is this a good mix for going further in Psychology? Which subject do you recommend as a fourth. I hope you reply immediately since I'm really confused and getting into alevels
omg I'm gonna do English lit, sociology n psychology I'm SCARED asf
@@tursigaganeshabawan9558how was english lit? im doing it next year . im predicted an 8 but im worried about the amount of books u have to read for alevel
i’m in year 9 and revising already, i get too scared i’d fail so i find it easier to start sooner😁
I can't find your Instagram, the links don't work.
did you enjoy it? I’m thinking of taking it but idk
Are the essays in psychology a level similar to the type of essays in English gcse? Just wondering, since I hated English at gcse and couldn’t write good enough essays :(😭 I would say I’m definitely more of a sciency person x
and also are the essays in psychology easier than English essays? As I’ve struggled with English gcse :(
I found them much easier & they’re very different, much less abstract and more fact based x
Rhiannon ah that’s so good to hear! Thank you so much xx
Where can I get past paper questions from?
Do u need to be good at maths to do psychology
out of my 4 a levels of bio maths chemistry and psychology. psyc is the easiest by far. i think the only subjects easier are business and sociology from what I'm told
me whose doing psyc sociology and business a level in september 💀
@@mclovin7407 w bro
@@Josiahwilliam hoping they’ll be as easy as you say because i’m dumb asf💀
@@mclovin7407 biology chemistry maths physics further maths are the hardest. As long as u don’t do any of those u should be fine :)
Can you do a levels without having lived in the uk for a few years?
Thanks for the video it was very helpful. What did you end up getting in psychology?
she got an A* :)
Did your teacher choose your 3 options for you or did you get to choose yourself?
Anyone doing OCR with any resources that you would share
thanks alot 👍
I do gcse psychology and the syllabus is almost exactly the same... I don't think I should take it at a level haha
A level is more in depth and 2nd year is mainly new
Hell, it’s hell trust me please I wish I could go back and never do it
You had Kianu Reeves in your ad. Just thought you should know..cuz....whoa, and yes.
Iam a science student,not biology. Should i take psychology
I don't do any sciences and I'm doing great so far in psych a level
A bit of biology knowledge helps, but only really gcse level
Please can you do this for history xx
Doing one for each A-Level, all three are already filmed! The history one is going to be really long though ahah xx
I’m going to do alevel Pyschology this year wish me luck
How is it going !
Is anyone else's from 2024?
How about edexcel new syllabus?
how can you get A*’s if you’re in year 12
Some subjects make it possible to have an A* in Year 12
Sounds a bit like the layout of the history gcse paper
As in the question part
Ok I have PTSD from reading this comment x
