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.
Due to the success of our trial with having recordings of some GCSE classes as mini courses on llpextralearningspace.co.uk we are including these course topics within our mini courses. This then allows you to buy previous lessons in topic packs either for revision purposes or to do a previous topic yourselves. This will potentially then over the next couple of years enable either part or the whole course to be bought instead or as well as our live lesson/ recording for two weeks. We recognise that this will have some issues for those that do not wish to be on camera. So we are changing the format of this class very slightly so that the visual register and any informal discussions happen before and after the lesson itself is recorded. The teachers will all have their settings set to speaker view so that the thumbnail of whoever is speaking will only be highlighted when or if they speak. If they don’t wish to be seen while speaking they can also switch off their video before speaking or at any part of the lesson after the visual register. If this causes any further concerns at all though do contact us to set up a password.
