AQA Psychology Topics: Empowering Your Child’s A-Level Journey
Is your child finding A Level Psychology overwhelming? You’re not alone. From complex research methods to essay writing and theory evaluation, AQA Psychology is a demanding subject—and many students lose confidence without the right support.
If you’ve ever searched “Is AQA Psychology hard?” or “What topics are in Paper 1 of Psychology?” then you already know how much there is to navigate.
That’s where TuitionLab: Psychology steps in. Starting September 2025, our term-time Psychology academy offers weekly online tuition specifically designed for students sitting the AQA A Level Psychology exam. And best of all? Parents can book a free 30-minute diagnostic appointment, where students are automatically enrolled in a free trial lesson to experience our support first-hand.

What Are the AQA Psychology Topics?
AQA Psychology is broken down across three exam papers. At TuitionLab, we help students tackle each one with confidence.
Paper 1 Topics:
-
Social Influence
-
Memory
-
Attachment
-
Psychopathology
Paper 2 Topics:
-
Approaches in Psychology
-
Biopsychology
-
Research Methods
Paper 3 Topics:
-
Issues and Debates in Psychology
-
Optional units (e.g., Schizophrenia, Forensic Psychology, Gender)
Many students (and parents) want to know:
Are there 12 markers in AQA Psychology?
➡️ No, not at full A Level. The longest questions are 16-mark essays, which assess knowledge (AO1), application (AO2), and evaluation (AO3) skills.
Why AQA Psychology Is Harder Than It Looks
AQA Psychology isn’t just about memorising studies—it’s about thinking like a psychologist. Students are expected to:
-
Understand scientific methods
-
Recall dozens of researchers and studies
-
Write fluent 16-mark essays under exam pressure
-
Apply theory to unfamiliar scenarios
Without expert help, it’s easy to fall behind or plateau at a mid-grade. That’s why our termly support includes live lessons, personalised feedback, and model essay writing strategies—all based on AQA’s mark schemes.
