This bundle includes four packs of exam questions for AQA psychology. Each pack covers one of the compulsory AS topics that appear in year one and year 2 exams: MEMORY, ATTACHMENT, SOCIAL and PSYCHOPATHOLOGY.
The questions are usefully grouped so that once you have revised the topic you can test yourself on a range of questions that have appeared in the past, giving you ample opportunities to get familiar with the types of questions the exam board have asked in the past and no doubt will again.
Even students who can recite their notes off by heart may struggle to achieve the top grades because they have poor exam technique, but this workbook is the ideal resource to improve exam technique simply by practicing!
I spent a lot of time going through old specification AQA papers to find the questions that relate to the new specification & highly recommend this exam focused approach to revision in order to access the highest grades.

Data analysis combined with theory application to prepare for A Level English Language, in particular the Year 1 exam. Includes three tasks all based around consolidating theory learning and data analysis skills.
Task 1: glossary of 8 studies/ theorists to match up with what they did. Great revision activity, and once complete, bedrock of studies for students to learn for the exam.
Task 2: an extract from a school newsletter attempting to ābanā regional dialect, where students are required to think about the message this sends across, what theories relate to this, and then to plan/ write an essay using the data.
Task 3: I have selected what I found to be four versatile studies and asked three thought provoking questions about them that open up discussion, encouraging students to say something meaningful about the theory, rather than just repeating what is in every textbook.
The poster included complements the activities pack. It is a straightforward resource giving a bedrock of theories, can be used for reference, revision or to support class/ home work.

A Level English Language activities to help students become more confident with using theories and studies for the first year exam especially.
Task 1: card sort activity with 11 theorists and their theories. Great revision activity, and, once complete, little glossary of AO2 for students to refer back to.
Task 2: Jargon activities, main task being to read an article from the guardian (useful overview) and use it as data to write an essay/ or to write an opinion article on the use of jargon.
Task 3: a transcript of a doctor/ patient conversation where students should apply the theories to what is being said. Great way to consolidate theories and to think about how occupational language is used and how it affects people outside the group. There is also an essay opportunity.
The poster included complements the activities pack. It is a straightforward resource giving a bedrock of theories, can be used for reference, revision or to support class/ home work.
