Must Buy - Revision for Psych Students
As a teacher of Psychology I find this book is a godsend for my students. It goes through each topic area on all of the A level syllabi (even pointing out which ones are relevant to which exam board in the contents pages) and summarises the key themes for each. It will help you to draw out key studies for each area, write & structure your essays and focus your attention on key areas for exam revision. An excellent investment in your exam grades!

Psychology made easy (ish!)
This book has probably saved me from flunking Alevel psychology! It is very good if you find it hard to read big texts-it helpfully puts things in boxes so you can pace yourself, and take it all in! Every page is packed with relevent info (beware if you find it hard reading small texts because the font is about size 8!) If you have a photographic memory then it is perfect for different forms of diagrams, flow charts and bullet points!It is good for revision-but doesn't cover the whole body of knowledge needed for A level-so this book with a Cardwell would see you through with flying colours!

Useful and productive revision guide
Although I have read many other similar revision guides, this one I found especially useful, as it tackles each individual topic through small, to-the-point paragraphs, and helpful diagrams. It's approach is condensed notes, similar to the notes of the best pupils in the class, that we all end up never getting round to. I would certainly recommend this book as the format of dense prose is strictly avoided and it stimulates the brain much better than most traditional revision guides.
