WJEC Psychology Specifications

Exam Specs & Revision Tools

Here, you can download the official specification PDFs to see how your exam is structured, what you’ll be assessed on. You’ll also find revision resources such as revision notes, flashcards, exam questions and past papers that are tailored to your specific board, level and subject.

• Use the Specification to guide your revision plan: Start by downloading the official exam specification for your subject and exam board. Use it to create a revision timetable that covers all topics in the syllabus, prioritising those you find the most difficult. Set realistic daily goals, making sure to spread out your revision over time. This helps with long-term retention and reduces last-minute stress.

• Turn the WJEC Psychology Specification into a study checklist: Go through the spec and turn it into a personalised checklist. Tick off each topic as you revise, ensuring you’re covering the entire syllabus. This gives structure to your revision and helps you track your progress over time.

• Review and summarise your notes: Go through your class notes and textbooks, summarising key points in your own words. Creating simple diagrams or mind maps can also help you to see how topics are connected. Refer to the exam spec when making your revision notes to make sure you’re focusing on key concepts.

• Practice with past exam papers: Work through past papers to get familiar with the format and the types of questions you’ll face. Try timing yourself so you can get used to working under real exam conditions. Afterwards, go through the mark scheme to see where you gained marks and where you might have missed out. Refer back to the specification to understand how each question connects to the content or assessment objectives. This will give you a clearer idea of what examiners are looking for.
