This is the easier of the two A2 exams. You are required to go into more depth on Psychological Investigations and recap context from AS Core Studies. Below is a short guide I made for how to answer certain questions (like the Procedure) and the most important context points for the debates you will learn about. Other than this use past papers to get an idea of the answers they like you to put. The main thing I would emphasise is use context. This means explicitly use relevant context from a relevant study/your procedure, rather than just adding some words about what the study is about. Be absolutely clear what you are talking about and how it relates! Makes all the difference. You will get better with practice. Trust me! :)

SECTION B:
Below is a slide show of the revision notes I made that were extremely useful for my revision. I picked out the main context points for each study and the best debates to talk about. Some of the text will be hard to read as my writing gets smaller (didn't anticipate I would put these notes up here for you). :) Hope it helps. (Green highlighted notes=strength, pink=weakness)
