A Level Psychology: how each board marks it

AQA · Pearson Edexcel · OCR. A separate book for each

The assessment objectives below are worded almost identically whichever board you teach. What differs is the weight each one carries, and that is what decides where a department spends its time. Each book quotes its own board’s specification word for word, and the first 8 pages of each are open to read here.

Teaching psychology lower down the school? Psychology scheme of work

Practising exam technique? Psychology questions and answers

The assessment objectives

  1. AO1 Knowledge
  2. AO2 Application
  3. AO3 Analysis and evaluation

Read off the A Level Psychology specification. The weightings, the mark scheme levels and what separates a middle answer from a top one are set out board by board inside each book.
