Detailed Information
IGCSE Psychology is a Cambridge exam examining cognitive psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology and individual differences alongside fundamental research methods. Memory, perception, obedience and conformity, developmental theories and abnormal psychology are the main topics. It is assessed in Paper 1 (core psychology) and Paper 2 (research methods and applications) format.
In IGCSE Psychology, identifying, evaluating and applying key studies (Loftus & Palmer, Milgram, Bandura, Piaget) are required for A*. Each study's aim, sample, method, results and ethical evaluation are frequently tested. TestPrep Psychology tutors teach research methods terminology (independent/dependent variable, control group, sampling methods) in an applied manner. For "Evaluate" questions, we teach how to discuss strengths and weaknesses in a balanced way.
Core topics include Cognitive psychology, Social psychology and Developmental psychology; the Extended tier adds material Core-tier candidates never sit.
We combine concise topic notes, conceptual questions and past-paper practice, with a weekly error-log review.
It depends on the target grade and starting level; typically 1-2 hours of tutoring per week plus 3-5 hours of independent work.
Paper structure, timing and weighting differ between Cambridge International (CAIE), Pearson Edexcel and the other boards, and Core and Extended tiers sit different papers. The plan is finalized once the board, syllabus code and tier are confirmed.
Core and Extended candidates sit different papers; all combine multiple-choice, structured and extended-response questions
Practical, oral or research component where applicable to the syllabus
Each topic is followed by past-paper questions from the student's own board and tier.
Every answer is compared against the official markscheme of the student's board.
Errors are tagged conceptual/careless/timing and reviewed weekly.

I was doing questions for IGCSE Psychology on my own but never had a steady routine. I found a better balance between regular school and exam preparation.
Marco Rinaldi
Over time, IGCSE Psychology became one of the most organized parts of my IGCSE / GCSE preparation. I wasn't trying to learn new topics at the very last minute.
Reina Fujita
I wasn't starting from zero, but the same mistakes kept showing up in my mocks. My tutor usually asked me to explain my thinking before stepping in. I stopped listing facts in essays and started building an actual argument. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.
Valentin Picard
I was close to my target, but my results changed a lot from one test to the next. Over time, IGCSE Psychology became one of the most organized parts of my IGCSE / GCSE preparation. The plan changed with my mock and homework results, so the work never felt random. Source questions became easier once I noticed how small details affected the mark. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.
Isadora Azevedo
Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. Breaking IGCSE Psychology into smaller pieces worked much better for me. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Marit Peters
The feedback I received on IGCSE Psychology was clear and practical. Connecting examples back to the main point made my writing more consistent. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar.
Parker Sullivan
The tutor supported regular study, not only the lesson content. We thank the tutor and the TestPrep team.
Ingrid Strand
I was taking IGCSE Psychology at school, but getting used to the exam questions took time. Going back to the lesson recordings helped when I forgot a small step. I stopped listing facts in essays and started building an actual argument. A big thank you to my tutor for all the support :)
Priya Reddy
I stopped listing facts in essays and started building an actual argument. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.
Angus Aldridge
We noticed that the resources kept changing during independent study. Full-length tests showed how time was being used across the exam. The plan was adjusted when school exams became busy. The tutor supported regular study, not only the lesson content. The overall experience was positive from beginning to end.
Tove Peric
We wanted our child to keep up with the school pace in IGCSE Psychology. We were able to follow the mock results regularly. The tutor's close attention to weaker areas gave us confidence. A good connection with the tutor developed quite quickly. Online lessons made it possible to continue without losing time on travel. Thank you sincerely to everyone involved.

When I started preparing for IGCSE / GCSE, I wasn't sure what order to study things in. Knowing what to study reduced a lot of the stress.

I finally understood what was going wrong in IGCSE Psychology. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster.
