This is the full OCR A-Level Psychology specification, code H567, as elid holds it — 7 topics, each with the terminology OCR marks against. Every explanation and every mark elid gives you is written against this list, not a generic A-level one, because the same question answered in AQA, CAIE or Edexcel language loses marks it should have earned.

Marked the way OCR marks it

Paste an answer you have written and elid marks it point by point against the OCR scheme: which marking points you hit, which you missed, and the sentence that would have earned each missing one. It is the difference between being told an answer is “good” and being told exactly where the marks went.
