Defining abnormality content, concise summary and multiple evaluation paragraphs. These documents are all the notes that I made in my 2 years studying A level psychology. I achieved a grade A for psychology. And I credit it to all the hard work I poured into these notes, which took years to perfect. I am extremely proud of them, as they are concise, to the point, and have everything you need to pass a psychodynamics paper. I have written notes using the aqa psychology a level cat book, and my teacher's powerpoint slides, along with her worksheets, and any other source of revision from YouTube or online. I have written summaries of the content (AO1), and also evaluation points (AO3), along with detailed paragraphs of each evaluation point. Everything you need for a 16 marker, is in these documents. I will upload all the topics I have written my notes on, for psychopathology as soon as possible.
