Notes are not enough..... They are only eligible if you have background knowledge so u can surely give ur papers in 1 year but u really have to study,search and work hard.... I might be weak in psychology so my advices will not be that reliable but InshAllah I will try to guide u as much as I can....

Hey guys.

I had Psychology in my A levels and believe me it is a subject one should not miss no matter what. It teaches you more than you can imagine. I was blessed with an A* Alhumdulillah. :)
I studied AS in 6 days actually and since I had immense interest in the subject, got A in it. A2 is even more interesting. I have been teaching psychology as well for a while. So if any one needs any suggestions regarding the subject, feel free to inbox me. :) And if any of you are in Karachi, I'd love to teach you Psych. :)

Remember, Psych may seem dry or too lengthy if you dont have a good enough teacher or if you can't see whats beyond the syllabus. It is an amazing subject and I've learnt more from it than any other subject ever. Do give it a shot, even if you dont get A*'s, you'll learn how humans and this world functions.

Yes i regularly used to check for your reply.Thank God that you replied.Please kindly help me.
Ok dear, the things you need to consider!
For part 1 and 2: In your paper 3 make your own notes according to the syllabus content provided through all the reliable source you have. For each part write atleast 4 to 5 points. It is all about how much you can memorise and and write effectively about. Once you are done with that try to practice answer writing. Yes you have to read boring actual studies in book and on the net. For the 2 and 4 marks answer, you need to describe each word first then gives it's advantage and disadvantages.

For part 3: In your alternative study, think about sample( ethnocentric, size etc), sample collection method(advertisement), Experimental technique( Match pair design, natural observation etc), methods to increase reliability and validity, ethical issues( deception) , findings( Validity etc) and others. Only mention those points which u can elaborate in the second part easily and always include well balanced pros and cones,It should be greater than the first part.

Part 4: For good essay based answer, include all the points in syllabus contents as much as you can. Follow the proper structure as well as writing techniques.

Part 5: yeah sure you can contact me.

Yes you have to describe each term and then elaborate them according to advantages and disadvantages or any such way;Yes you have to intentionally design a study with both pros and cones and then evaluate it in second part.. :)
