Cambridge Senior Science Psychology VCE is a completely new resource written to comprehensively meet the requirements of the new 2023 VCE Study Design. Key science skills and scientific investigations are integrated throughout this engaging series alongside precise treatment of all essential theory with activities, practicals and case studies. Students are offered the best assessment preparation support available through the development of key skills and a focus on what they really need to know to achieve success in their end-of-year exams.

This new series:

• fully prepares students for success in VCE Psychology and focuses on exactly what they need to know without overwhelming them with content they won’t be assessed on;
• emphasises key science skills and scientific investigations with dedicated chapters, comprehensive advice, investigation logbook examples, questions integrated in context, and separate skills boxes in every chapter;
• supports students in their assessment preparation with suggested responses and a wealth of revision tools;
• gives students control over their progress with learning intentions, end-of-chapter Success Criteria checklists, review questions and self-assessment tools;
• builds a strong mental map of the course and promotes better recall of content with concept maps and link icons, both hyperlinked in the Interactive Textbook;
• supports teachers with a range of tools in the Online Teaching Suite including a test generator; task manager; editable and downloadable activities, practicals and worksheets; curriculum grids; curated weblinks; and chapter tests;
• allows teachers to create custom practice exams with the Exam Generator in the Online Teaching Suite. The Exam Generator draws on past VCAA questions and VCAA-style questions and provides filters by Area of Study, key term, question type and level of difficulty.
