A Level Psychology Essay Questions

3 Resources
This bundle contains three packs of suggested essay questions for the new Psychology specification: AQA A Level Psychology. Despite many students being able to recite key studies and theories by Milgram, Bowlby or Zimbardo, without plenty of practice putting these theories into essays and linking up ideas, they often fail to reach the top marks. However this resource provides students with LOADS of essays for each topic in the specification. It has a checklist encouraging them to plan the essay to pick the most relevant ideas, then write it and most importantly get it marked for feedback. When preparing for A Level Psychology some of the most crucial preparation is practice and this resource gives realistic, challenging and invaluable suggested questions. Hope these pre made questions save you some time and provide some practice material to help students secure the top grades!
