@maisa-d7wWhats the benefits of Studing A levels Psychology??
@RabibAzlanI have just gotten my a level results yesterday and I am so dissapointed in myself as I did so bad and got a D. I am now taking a resit for psychology a level and in the process of creating a timetable to get at least an A for 2026 a level exams. I will work my ass off and no one will work harder than me this year and mark my words I will transform that D to an A. On August 13th 2026 around 5pm I will come back to this comment and let the comment section know what I got in psychology a level next year. see you guys next year.
@SmoothCriminalHimselfwhat subjects did you take in your a levels?
@hooodlestoodlesgirl we dooo the same subjects, where is chemistryyy🥲
@PaulisdigitaljournalWhat app or website did u use to make flashcards @xummamax
@faariyaaamirNot started my psychology A-level yet I’m starting in September but no one in my school has gotten an A* in years so I’m gonna be the first :) I’ll update later if y’all remind me
@T0XIC_R4INyall im taking bio chem and physics should i add psychology as an extra?
@rubinakhalil5238I am litr sooo confused about what subjects to take for my a levels😭😭🙏 i just gave my o levels exams
@Areeba-f7fAlso what I would do is so if my exam begins at 10am then I would start revision at 8am and it has to be revision not learning for the first time and how I’d revise quick was I would go through chapter to chapter in an order and first I would write down the sample size and details of samples chapter by chapter without looking then check if they’re correct and then move on to IV and DV and psychology being investigated chapter by chapter and again it has to be without looking at notes or books then check it and correct your mistakes then I would write the strengths and weaknesses like I would in the exam chapter by chapter and check it and it would help me remember and remember all the mistakes and corrections by it hit 10am.
@yangsasa8649watching this 2 weeks before my psychology paper pray for me
@hebahkibuuka8210nahhhh she badddd 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯🙀🙀🙀
@onlyrmzzThanks girl, trust me I have tried post it notes, highlighting, making card things and it just doesn’t stick, I’ll try this so I hope it works😭
@RobertSmithsFatherhello! im planning to do alevel cie chem, bio and psych- can I use resources to study using AQA/OCR for chem, psych n bio even though im doing the CIE, is the content almost the same? There are way more resources for AQA and OCR
@ishacandiah-j5nWhy
@blipcxhey i was wondering can you please explain or make a video on how to apply to universities, and also things you wished you knew before applying.
@yasminjonson-b9oi have my exams in a few months, gonna try to lock in, last time i commented on one of these videos (gsce RE), i ended up predicted a 5, and got a 9. i got an unconditional offer for my university but i want to have a good grade for psychology and it is so heavily interlinked with my life and i dont want the grade for the sake of it - but for actually understanding it and using it day to day or in my future career. will reply in a few month (probably a lil after september with my results), best of luck to everyone that is working hard in psychology, im sure we can all do it. if you see this now, focus - put in the WORK! if i fail, i will only see a hard D as a fail, currently im working at a 43% but my first year i was working at an A* level so I need to channel that A* energy into my second year. need to tackle the harder subjects like research methods, biopsychology etc. Inshallah, if god wills it, i will be back with good news! <3 i predict a B, but will aim for higher.
@zephyriaThank you so much for this it's a clear and quick video understanding the key guide to revising for psychology!! :D
@TOHgecko2023does anyone know if the 2015 textbook is still relevant in 2024?
@chunkymonkey170See, I'm confused. How do I revise the content to even know it TO question myself using flashcards, do I just read it once and then ask myself the questions?
@lentiloverWatching this caz tmrw is psych exam..😶🌫️
@naziaahmadi4737Absolutely loved watching this video ❤❤❤ looking forward to next one.
@pokemongmax8565Hi can you tutor
@ml6877in order to first understand the content is it okay to write down notes into a notebook and then once you start understanding it to make flashcards or would that be an inefficient use of time
@henloitsme6093which exam board were you ?
@mrflippinfish5864Can you share the flashcards you made?
@ToxoGondiiSo helpful thankyou!!
@morwenna9732Quick question: How much time should I spend studying Psychology per day? (I'm starting year 12 tomorrow)
