    • @gubeyaz4886
      @gubeyaz4886  5 років тому +74

      divide each section in your exam according to how long the exam is. for example paper 2 = research methods, biopsychology and approaches. depending on how many marks for each section (48,24,24) that gives you a rough time on how much you should be spending on the sections. 16 markers shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes! practising essay writing will help you time manage a lot easier. don't use inky pens use ballpoint because it helps write easier! I can't really help when it comes to summarising information - I can only suggest that you read EVERYTHING, process the information, then write the most important facts etc down. I don't use full sentences meaning I cut out things like "the... afterwards... and it is then..." basic bullet points with the keywords needed helps to chunk information and remember easier! I also use arrows facing up and down for "increase" "decrease" not only does it save time but it helps me visualise my notes nicely. any other questions, don't hesitate to ask! I hope this helps in some way, these are just my tips :) xx

    A2 this year, finally putting my head down. Honestly didnt search this video don't know how it got recommended to me but I suggest looking into active recall methods and spaced repetition. They are highly effective and relatively good at saving time.
    Both techniques work hand in hand. Learnt it from another youtuber cant quite remeber his name. I use it to skip making summarized notes since I hate copying and pasting or trying to think hard about summarizing alot of content.

      Tracey M Hi I would really appreciate hearing about how you found A level psychology, as I am trying to pick between it and biology for A levels. The only thing putting me off is that many people seem to find it boring which is a big worry as finding it interesting is the only reason I’m taking the subject. Also how surface level is the content, like is the content actually hard to understand or is there just lots to remember. Also how much biology is in psychology. Thanks.

      Essay plans are usually 16 marks (for AQA atleast) they can be 12 marks aswell. But for a long question like that 6 marks is for AO1 so facts and info about the topic asked in the question. It can be about 1 paragraph. But the A03 is really important in these long questions so around 2 strengths 2 weaknesses its up to u or u can even get away with 3 well detailed ones. Essay plans are weitten up essays for different topics using your textbook school notes and other info. These written essays are really useful because if u write one up for each or most of the sub topics then its very possible for the same ones to come up in the actual exam
