Product reviews for A2 Level Psychology

Holt and Lewis have dished up a refreshing and thought provoking new look text for the A2 AQA A syllabus, reflective of their AS text. Each section of this text book is clearly signposted, making it easy to use even for the most book-shy of students. Each topic is dealt with in a sensible, no-nonsense, logical progression. This starts with a general description of a concept, theme or theory and then provides good quality evidence to support it.

Each sections flows with a soothing tempo which lulls the reader with a sense of familiarity, encouraging them to read on. Every page prompts the learner with examples of exam questions and nuggets of advice from examiners, thus ensuring that the end goal (exam success) and how to achieve it is at the forefront of the students mind.
There are plenty of opportunities to revise skills and test your knowledge through various self assessments and I particularly like the various examples of dynamic revision strategies that Holt and
Lewis employ; providing them detailed examples of how to frame structured cue cards and produce elaborate mind maps.
It is refreshing to see so many AS topics revisited and reviewed rather than expecting the student to remember or have to refer to a separate text. There is also an excellent section that deals with exam skills and how to unpack exam questions. It depicts various assessment objectives with unselfish links to other revision sources.
This is an essential text for anyone studying A level psychology through AQA and a delightful dip-in dip-out text book for users of other syllabuses - in fact a bit of something for everyone.
