Revise Psychology for AS Level

Revise Psychology for AS Level is designed to give a clear framework of the content of the course. It will help both the hard-working student who has worked solidly throughout the course and the 'I should have worked harder' student who urgently needs to gain sufficient knowledge to pass the exam. It has been updated in line with the latest syllabus specification and includes page references to the new Psychology for AS Level, third edition, by Michael W. Eysenck. Although it is designed to supplement this book, it can be used alongside any AS-level psychology textbook.
