, Introduction
Hello! Firstly, thank you for purchasing these A-Level Psychology notes. These are the notes I used to self-teach myself A-Level psychology
2019 in a year and as a result, I achieved an A*, the highest grade in my class. The following pages guide you through A* Grade essay plans.
These can be used as supplementary material for revision. I personally spent some time learning the content, creating these essay plans, and
memorising them using flash cards.
I am confident that these essay notes will serve you well too. I wish you the best of luck in exams!!
