4 pages of practice essay questions for the new psychology paper 1. Despite many students being able to recite key studies and theories by Milgram, Bowlby or Zimbardo, without plenty of practice putting these theories into essays and linking up ideas, they often fail to reach the top marks. However this resource provides students with multiple essays for each topic in the specification and that could appear on their paper. It has a checklist encouraging them to plan the essay to pick the most relevant ideas, then write it and most importantly get it marked for feedback. When preparing for A Level Psychology some of the most crucial preparation is practice and this resource gives realistic, challenging and invaluable suggested questions. There are loads of 16 marker essay questions for every topic in the new specification meaning students can plan and practice a response to almost every possible question they could be asked since I spent a lot of time creating questions that cover all of the specification. Hope these pre made questions save you some time! Chat with me @astarlevels
