Psychology day with an expert!
On Friday 31st January, The Psychology department invited Jean-Marc Lawton to run a tailor- made revision day for our year 13 students. Jean-Marc is an assistant principal examiner for the exam board AQA and the IB. He has been teaching Psychology for over 30 years. Jean-Marc has written a number of Psychology textbooks including one of the two official textbooks for the current specification. He has also recently published a book titled “Aiming for an A in Psychology”. 14 students from King Edward VI Aston also attended the event which took place in our 6th form common room that was set up like a revision conference. The students practised a wide range of exam questions and were given examples of mistakes students often make in the exam. They learnt how to develop their answers to gain the most marks in the exam and Jean Marc reviewed a range of topics including those students often struggle with, such as research methods and biopsychology. The revision day was very successful and we hope the students will use the resources and skills in their final A level examinations.
