There is a great deal of helpful advice for students contained within examiner reports, including examples of candidates' responses with examiner commentary explaining why marks were and weren't awarded. However we know that in general students struggle to access this information. We have therefore started to produce short videos focusing on one question at a time and sharing key feedback, which we hope students and teachers will find useful. These are between three and seven minutes long and could also be shown in the classroom.

Below is one example video, and a link to the playlist on YouTube. You can also give feedback on specific videos or general feedback on these, and/or make requests for future videos, using the form linked below.

There is a great deal of helpful advice for students contained within examiner reports, including examples of candidates' responses with examiner commentary explaining why marks were and weren't awarded. However we know that in general students struggle to access this information. 

We therefore plan to produce a new set of short videos aimed at students as well as teachers, sharing key messages and advice from past examiner reports (we won't publicly share reports from papers from the past 12 months though).

Below is a video from 2023 on how to tackle the 12 mark question on Pape 2 which has proven popular, a link to the playlist which we will shortly be adding to, and a link to the form which you can use to make requests for future videos.

Below is one example video, and a link to the playlist on YouTube. Four of our first five videos have used questions from UK A Level exams, but we have selected questions on IAL content, and given the question and mark scheme desgin is the same for both qualifications these are equally relevant to IAL students and teachers..

examWizard is our free tool for locating past papers and building mock exam papers, assessments and practice question banks from a searchable database of past paper questions. It is not available for all qualifications due to the amount of time required to upload questions, and IAL psychology has not previously been supported.

We are happy to announce that IAL psychology questions will become available in examWizard shortly - we anticipate this will be some time in April 2025. We will share more information on this tool once the questions are 'live'.

Thank you to those IAL teachers who took the time to complete our 'examWizard expression of interest form' a few months ago!
