In this class, students will:
Understand the structure of AQA Paper 2
- Break down the paper into its key sections (Approaches, Biopsychology, and Research Methods), including how marks are allocated and how to manage time effectively across the exam.
Develop strong application skills (AO2)
- Learn how to apply psychological knowledge to scenarios — a key skill required to access higher mark bands and one of the most common areas where students lose marks.
Decode application-based questions with confidence
- Understand how to identify what the question is really asking and how to use the context provided to shape clear, relevant answers.
Write effective scenario-based answers
- Learn how to move beyond generic responses and produce answers that are clearly linked to the scenario, demonstrating precise and relevant application.
Apply examiner-led answer techniques
- Gain key insights into how examiners award marks, including how to structure answers, use accurate terminology, and meet AO1, AO2, and AO3 criteria effectively
Revise effectively for Paper 2 topics
- Learn targeted revision strategies for Approaches, Biopsychology, and Research Methods, with a focus on applying knowledge rather than memorising content.
By the end of the session, students will feel confident tackling Paper 2, with practical strategies to improve application skills, accuracy, and overall exam performance.
