Structured A* notes for visual learners
Hi! I just finished my A-Levels in Psychology, Sociology and Maths where I got A*, A*, A*. I am a big visual learner so spent a lot of time on Canva presenting/condensing all of the information I would need (with the right level of detail) onto a page per sub-topic that would be visually interesting - each page looking different from the others across the entire A-Level. Everything is covered in this way across all of Psychology. For sociology, I used this method for research methods but, as sociology is not limited to the specification, I chose to write out every essay I could need in full. Whilst this doesn't seem as visual, it helped group examples together for paragraph structures and picture essays as soon as you hear the topic. I hope my notes help you as much as they helped me :)
