Personally, I love research methods. A fundamental understanding of this topic helps everything else in psychology make sense. This is why it is a key focus across all examination boards.

However, when the term ‘research methods’ is mentioned, many students flinch. Reasons for this vary. Some find it a dry, boring topic. Others worry they will struggle to gain marks on that section of the examination. This column focuses on how you can improve your research methods marks, whatever the specification or level you are studying.
