OCR A-level Psychology past papers and mark schemes
18 papers · June 2017 – June 2024
Only Component 01 (Research methods) and Component 03 (Applied psychology) are listed on this page for OCR A-level Psychology (H567), so if you need any other component, it is not covered here. Component 01 is listed at 90 marks and Component 03 at 105 marks, both with a time of 2 hours. Each has 9 papers, 18 in total, and all of them have a mark scheme.
16 papers come from exam series between June 2017 and June 2024, including June 2020 and November 2021, and 2 are specimen papers. The files open on Physics & Maths Tutor. You could use Component 01 papers to keep research methods practice going throughout the year, and leave a few Component 03 papers untouched until the last weeks. After each timed attempt, read the mark scheme closely and rewrite one answer that fell short.
Reschedule is an A-level revision planner and it is not affiliated with any exam board. You add your subjects, exam board, the date of each paper and your available study time, and it builds a daily plan from the specification. Each subtopic comes before the paper that examines it, and past papers with mark schemes are added for each paper.
