Made for AQAPsychology A-level but could be easily adapted for other boards. This is a presentation I work through with my students while they are revising research methods - it includes over 60 slides (some with content and some with indications of a task to complete).

This includes a sample essay on designing research and a summary table for features of science which are areas students often struggle with.

AQA Year 2 exam papers - what has been asked and exam predictions

AQA Year 2 exam papers - what has been asked and exam predictions

(1)
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.
