Could anyone let me know all of the possible essay titles for the PSYA2 exam? Obviously this doesn't have to be completely extensive but I'd like to make some essay plans

Very high, I've taken the exam twice and I've had to outline them both times.

Also got my original script back, marked ridiculously harsh and I think I'm gonna get a remark as I've counted at least 7 marks they've missed out, recommend anyone else that got below what they estimated to do the same.

For the exam do we actually have to know Stress related illness: cardiovascular + psychiatric
I looked at the spec with no mention except for immune system. Same for emotion + problem focusing?!
Im creating some essays, hopefully finish by the end of the week if anyone want them, ill be happy to share ;D

Emotion/Problem focused strategies for coping with stress have been removed off the spec. No longer tested on them! Conformity now relates specifically to majority influence, so Moscivici is no longer credible, he is only credible for social change!

Ahh ok cool. For the social change stuff, my teacher told me that if i learn stuff for Role of minority influence, aka Behavioural styles + snowball + dissociation model, it will be fine since you can apply it to the SI affect on social change. not sure if its true though D:
