Free AO2 Worksheets for AQA Psychology: Practice, Printables & Progress
If you're teaching AQA A-Level Psychology, you know that mastering AO2 — the application of knowledge to real-world scenarios — is crucial. But creating engaging, realistic AO2 questions takes time. That’s why we’ve compiled free printable AO2 worksheet resources to help your students practise, self-assess, and improve — without increasing your workload.
Why AO2 Deserves Regular Practice
AO2 isn’t just about remembering theory — it’s about knowing how to use it. Students often underperform on AO2 questions in Paper 1 because they haven’t had enough exposure to unfamiliar contexts.
By using low-stakes daily activities or cover work that builds AO2 gradually, you’ll develop students’ confidence while reinforcing the key spec content.
