What OCR A-Level Psychology covers

OCR A-Level Psychology (specification H567) is sat as three papers: component 01 is worth 30% and components 02 and 03 35% each. Component 01 is research methods, component 02 the twenty core studies in ten key themes with the areas, perspectives and debates that frame them, and component 03 applied psychology: a compulsory section on issues in mental health plus two of four applied options. All four options are banked here, so pick the two you are sitting on the topic selection page and the other two drop away. **This specification is being replaced by H569: the final first teach was September 2026 and the final assessment is June 2028. From September 2027 schools teach H569, first examined in June 2029, and a student resitting after June 2028 sits H569.**

Spaced Repetition Schedule

How reviews are timed

Levo will automatically distribute all of your progress into a spaced repetition calendar. Once you’ve answered, it’s scheduled for you on the next day in the spaced repetition schedule. Over time, the gaps between your recall get bigger, from a day to three years, reinforcing memorisation over a long period of time.

Psychology revision questions

Common questions about revising OCR A-Level Psychology. Tap any to open it.

How do you memorise OCR A-Level Psychology?

By testing yourself, not rereading. Active recall, pulling each answer from memory then checking it, builds far stronger memory than highlighting notes. Levo runs the method for you across all 21 Psychology topics and brings each one back on a spaced schedule so it stays memorised.

What is the fastest way to revise Psychology for OCR?

Skip the long notes and go straight to retrieval. Levo turns the H567 specification into short questions you drill with rapid recall, cram whole papers in one sitting, and a readiness score tells you exactly what is left to learn.

What topics are on OCR A-Level Psychology (H567)?

There are 21 topics, split across 321 subtopics, from Research Methods and Techniques, Planning and Conducting Research, Data Recording, Analysis and Presentation and more. Every topic is listed above, and each one opens to the subtopics inside it.

What do you get inside Levo for Psychology?

Six ways to work the same material. The 3-step method for learning a set, Cram for sorting a whole paper into what you know and what you do not, Blank Blitz for making key facts automatic, Build It for assembling full-mark answers, Test It for catching misconceptions, and Brain Breaks between sessions. A readiness score tracks how much of the subject you have memorised.

Is active recall better than rereading your notes for Psychology?

Consistently, yes. Rereading feels productive but fades quickly. Retrieving an answer from memory, the way Levo tests you, is what actually forms durable memory, and it shows you honestly what you do and do not know.

Does Levo cover the whole OCR Psychology specification?

Every topic on the H567 specification is covered, written from the published subject content. The full list is above, and each topic opens to its subtopics so you can see exactly what is there before you subscribe.

How can you encourage your teenager to revise?

Make it short, structured and low-pressure. Levo gives a clear daily plan, quick sessions rather than marathon ones, streaks that reward showing up, and an honest readiness score, so revision feels like progress instead of a chore. Parents can add an account and follow along.

Can you revise Psychology the night before an exam?

Yes. Cram mode is built for exactly that: fly through a whole paper, sort every topic into red, amber and green, then drill just the reds and ambers you do not know yet. It is the honest version of a last-minute session.

Every question in Psychology, on a schedule.

Attempt a question from memory, write the correct version, then attempt it again. Levo records the jump between your first attempt and your last, and brings each question back on the day you are due to forget it.
