You've turned the page and seen it: the 12-mark Design a Study question. You know your content, memory, attachment, social influence. But this question feels different, and you're not quite sure why. Here's why. Research Methods makes up at least 25% of your overall A-Level Psychology grade. A quarter of your result. And it's the area most students revise least, because it doesn't feel like "content" you can recall from a textbook. It feels abstract and procedural, so it gets pushed to the bottom of the pile, right up until it appears on your exam paper worth as much as everything else combined. Nowhere does this cost more than the Design a Study question. Worth 12 marks, more than almost any other single question, you can't recall an answer to it. You have to build one from scratch, under time pressure, justifying every choice as you go. Most students freeze, ramble, or write something reasonable that quietly caps out at 6 or 7 marks, because they never actually knew what the examiner was looking for. This course exists to fix that. Across four short modules, you'll learn to: - Break down exactly what a Design a Study question is asking - Decode the mark scheme in plain English, so you know what separates a Band 2 answer from a Band 4 answer - Apply a simple, repeatable structure, What, How, Why, to build a full-mark answer for any observation, experiment, or quasi-experiment - Practise on real exam-style questions and mark your own work against examiner criteria Each module comes with a downloadable workbook, so you can organise your notes and work through the practice tasks. By the end, you won't just understand Design a Study questions. You'll have a method you can apply to every single one you're given. Twelve marks, every time.
