Which paper to prioritise
AQA Psychology is one of the most evenly balanced subject: Paper 1, 2 and 3 all sit within 1 to 3% of each other for A* grades awarded. There’s no single “weak paper” pattern the way there is for other subjects like Politics or Economics. Since all three papers carry equal weight (33.3% each) and score similarly, revision time is best spread evenly rather than concentrated on one paper.
Did it get harder or easier?
A Level Psychology grade boundaries have remained very stable. AQA’s overall A* boundary moved just 1 point (76% to 77%) between 2024 and 2025, the smallest shift of any subject. Past boundaries are a reasonably reliable guide here.
