6- and 10-marker Plan for Biological Explanation of Mood Disorders

There’s a lot of content to ‘memorise’ in psychology, isn’t there?

Remembering becomes a lot easier when it is done in an organised way rather than through cramming.

Then, how should students organise content?

By preparing answer writing frames after every lesson!

By organising the textbook content into sections and subsections giving appropriate headings – of course in a question-answer format. That way, students just have to remember a few words of the headings to be able to recall the entire answer that they have understood from the textbook.

Download a sample on how this can be done from below to get more clarity on this approach. Happy learning!
