Flashcards for Edexcel GCSE Psychology (1PS0), split into Paper 1's five compulsory topics and Paper 2's optional topics plus research methods, in the specification's order. Each optional topic, criminal psychology, the self, perception, sleep and dreaming, and language, thought and communication, is its own subdeck, since the exam covers only two of them. Delete or suspend any subdeck your course leaves out once the deck is yours.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
