Study Tips for AQA Psychology
For every study you learn, know the aim, method, results, and conclusion, but also prepare at least two evaluation points covering strengths and limitations of the methodology. Evaluation is where the higher marks are.
Master research methods thoroughly — understand experimental designs, sampling techniques, types of data, ethical guidelines, and statistical tests. Research methods questions appear across every paper and are worth a significant proportion of the total marks.
Use the GRAVE acronym (Generalisability, Reliability, Application, Validity, Ethics) as a framework for evaluating studies. This ensures your evaluation points are structured and comprehensive rather than vague.
Create comparison tables for different psychological approaches (biological, cognitive, behavioural, psychodynamic, humanistic). Being able to compare and contrast approaches is essential for synoptic questions.
