Paper 2 includes compulsory research methods and two selected options. These may include criminal psychology, the self, perception, sleep and dreaming, or language, thought and communication. Confirm your school’s choices rather than revising every option.

Practise thinking like a researcher

Ask what was measured

Identify the behaviour or outcome being investigated. Discuss how a vague idea could become something a researcher can observe.

Read the results carefully

Check the units and compare the relevant values. Describe what the results show before deciding what they might mean.

Keep conclusions proportionate

Consider whether the evidence supports the claim being made. Use a specific limitation rather than suggesting that one weakness makes all findings worthless.

Frequently asked questions

Is the content identical to AQA GCSE Psychology?

No. Topic groupings, option choices and assessment details differ. Use resources for Edexcel 1PS0 when preparing for this course.

Can lessons help with calculations?

Yes. Bring a data-handling question that you found difficult. Practise the calculation and a sentence explaining what the result means.

What is a useful first goal?

Choose something observable, such as explaining a study accurately or applying a concept to a scenario. Review that skill after practice before widening the plan.
