June 2024 Psychology subject update
Welcome to your Pearson Edexcel Psychology June 2024 subject update.
Hello colleagues,
With GCSE and A Level exams completed for psychology, I hope that teachers reading this have a chance now to reflect on the positive impact you have had on your learners this year. This month we begin to look ahead to the new school year, and Year 12 students are making their plans for careers and further study beyond A Levels.
This update therefore focuses on reflections on the recent exam series, and planning for the future. Along with information on our exam feedback survey for teachers and some details relating to results days, we have training events coming up for GCSE, A Level and IAL psychology and information from the British Psychological Society which may be of interest to Year 12 students.
For updates on the qualificaiton(s) you deliver, please see the relevant section below.
Best wishes,
Tim Lawrence
Psychology Subject Advisor

As we come towards the end of the exam series, we would like you to share your feedback on this year's papers. We wish to provide students with the best possible experience, and your insights are crucial in helping us achieve this goal.
If you are a teacher whose students have taken any of our externally set assignments or exams in the May/June 2024 series, we are eager to hear your thoughts.
Your feedback will play a vital role in shaping the future of our qualifications and assessments.

Your input will be shared with our senior examiners and across our subject teams to help us continuously improve future assessments.

If, as a teacher, you need an EOL login please talk to your Exams Officer who will be able to get you set up.
Please note that as an additional step for securing customer and learner data we have now introduced our new app-based multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users of Edexcel Online, replacing the email-based MFA. The app is now mandatory to access Edexcel Online via the Pearson Portal. If you've not done so already, you'll need to download the Pearson authenticator app to a smart device (such as a smart phone) to continue to access Edexcel online via the Pearson Portal.
