GCSE Psychology AQA spec

Hi and welcome to GCSE Psychology! We will study the AQA syllabus exploring topics including memory, development, social influence, brain, neuropsychology, psychological problems, and of course how psychologist conduct research.

Here is a link to some practice GCSE papers – I would suggest that students who are planning to sit the GCSE exam familiarise themselves with the format – AQA | Resources | Past Papers & AQA Mark Schemes

Here is a link to a useful documents that has the command words for the exam questions – AQA | Command words

It’s not compulsory, but it is advisable, to use an endorsed textbook alongside your studies. Any AQA one is fine but I personally would recommend the Illuminate publishing “red haired boy” book.   Here is a link to the book – it can be purchased from many sites and often is available pre loved.  AQA Psychology for GCSE: Student Book: Amazon.co.uk: Flanagan, Cara, Berry, Dave, Jones, Mark, Liddle, Rob, Jones, Ruth: 9781911208044: Books
