Full notes: This document contains all of the study notes needed for the topic. If you learn this, you have everything you need to answer any questions, they may set you on this section of the exam. All of the evaluation has been split up into easy chunks, I’ve made it clear by chunking it up into:
A point - the point you are making
Evidence - the study or example to support you
Elaboration – how to explain your point in more detail
Evaluation - a further strength or weakness to help you hit the really hight A/A* grades by showing sustained evaluation.
Throughout I’ve highlighted all the key studies in Blue, so they are easy to spot. These correspond easily with the Key Study Cards and Key Study List (which you can also buy on here) to help you learn all of those pieces of research. I’ve also highlighted the key terms throughout making it easy to ensure you can define all of the key terms on the specification.

Excel document set up for you to start tracking all student work.
You can:
Log student names, targets and teaching groups
Identify if students fit in key groups such as SEND or if they have exam access arrangements
Track homework completion
Track folder checks
Log grades from quizzes, tests and mocks.
This spreadsheet does all the hard work of tracking for you, I’ve sorted the formulas and conditional formatting so that you can just input the raw test scores and it will work out most of the hard work for you.
For example:
If you input a score on a test, it will work out the percentage and what this is as a grade (for this it is set to use the harshest AQA Psychology grade boundaries - but you could easily change these to any boundaries you want to use e.g. another subject’s grade boundaries).
It will work out if the student is on, above or below target in each test. It will then colour code this for you so you can visually see if students are on target easily.
When you enter a student as not submitting a homework it will also colour code this orange to enable you to see clearly patterns in missed homework.
As a bonus tab I’ve included a tracker to enable you to remember which tests have been set. I use this whenever I set a past paper. This means I never accidentally set the same test twice.
