Research Methods - It includes a booklet of activities and a powerpoint to guide the students through completing it.
A document that examines what questions have been asked on previous topics before on AQA Psychology papers (Year 2 ones only).
It plots how many marks have been asked on each sub-topic and then colour codes the topics by how likely there is to be an exam question on them in the next exam:
Red - less likely
Green - Likely
Disclaimer: AQA does not follow a pattern with exam questions and there is every chance even the “red coded” areas can be asked. This is purely for teachers to use to devise mocks etc and I wouldn’t advise giving this to students.
