new spec psychology exam was supprisingly easy, expecting 90+ ums at minimum:biggrin:


Yeah thats what im thinking. It was a bit TOO easy. It was a very unusual paper...but did they HAVE to include piecharts? Really? Really OCR?

I did this paper! It was independent measure apparently, I put repeated :frown: also messed up the iv and DV, but at least the questioned as s and w of labs if it had been the design I chose I would of messed that up too!! I hope a lot of other people messed this up too or I'll be getting a poor grade :frown:

Omgggg I hated that paper! What did anyone write for the section B and what design was it? I was tempted to write a quasi experiment but that wasn't a design!!! Did I read the question wrong?!

the experimental design was your choice in the 12 marker.

there was a clear modal value..


Wait...for the corridor question yes? Modal means most occurring number, but there was none. Unless it was 80...ugh

I didn't know what to put for a control of the extraneous variable? I put control for participant variables using repeated measures😭😭

I had done Matched-pairs, but my extraneous would be making sure none of them had owned pets before because it may influence how lonely they are...i dont know what I was thinking :dontknow:

Oh my god i was going to put that but i took it away!!! Should have kept it:frown:
I got the dependent variable wrong for the 1marker as so I also messed up on the 12 markk with measuring the dv, feel like a right idiot. I waffled the whole way through but luckily i justified my reasons and mentioned about a previous study twice or more. Oh wells

I did a different paper to you guys, mine was an AS retake :smile:
What was the answer to the significant figure percentage one?! I couldn't work out if it was 40% or 40.3% ?!

No it wasn't decimal places, I'm pretty sure it was to two significant figures which is different?
yes, 80 was the most frequent behavioural category listed, don't worry though it was only 1-2 marks, if you smashed the 12 marker it will make up for it:biggrin:
