No matter how much information your students have, to get A’s and B’s they need two key skills: they need to know what information is relevant when answering questions and they need to be able to transform that information into concise answers.
Textbooks provide your students with lots of information, and many textbooks give the occasional model answer.
But to achieve the best grades, your students need to learn how to filter information from textbooks and then transform it into relevant, comprehensive and coherent answers themselves.
Succeed in Psychology – A Guide for AS Psychology (AQA ‘A’) – 4th Edition 2007
is a simply arranged resource that takes your students step-by-step along the path of writing high quality answers for five AS sections: Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Physiological Psychology, Individual Differences and Social Psychology.
Revised each year in response to feedback from teachers and students, it is designed to be used alongside your textbook, to help your students develop the judgement to select relevant information from their textbooks, and the competence to write high quality exam answers.
Succeed in Psychology is provided both in the form of a modifiable CD-Rom that can be downloaded onto a school or college intranet, and a hard copy for use in the classroom.
The material includes a clear and concise description of what the student needs to know. It also contains:
- key terms

- suggestions for writing accurate and focused answers to more than 60 short questions
