the only thing is i dont remember it being there in the paper ??? am i wrong ...did i just miss a question


The options are in a different order to in the paper I think so maybe that makes you not recognize it but if you can't remember it at all you probably missed it out.

WTH was up with those 12 markers. i so badly wanted the 12 marker to be in the social influence section. and the 12 markers were messed up. something about the working memory. i started talking about both MSM and WMM cuz i didnt know which one to talk about as it only said working memory and not working memory model. I hope my examiner is generous


Mine too :no:

It's highly unlikely you'd need 80% for an A, never mind a pass. Many people messed up due to the wording of the questions, e.g on Working Memory 12 marker, Q1, the 6 marker on LTM, and the question about self study, so the paper was by no means 'easy'.


I did not mean pass, I meant an A and we (college cohort as a collective) found the paper quite easy, the wording was a little bit different but when my tutor went to a meeting with the chief examiners on a course that was mentioned so we were prepared for that, so we did find that easy

damn cant believe it...how did i not see that 2 mark question.. my whole life is blowing up right now....what is life....what is the purpose of life....

(its not that deep but still pissed)


You think that's bad. I missed out the whole 8 marker on Asch. I didn't see the question because when I turned the pages they were stuck together. Be glad it wasn't 8 marks

Oh yeah I know that really annoyed me! I thought there would only be 1! I spoke to the others in my class and they hated the working memory one, I wrote about the working memory model but I don't think that's right😬The question was too vague! Although if we all found them quite hard then hopefully the grade boundaries will be lower right? What do you think about the self report question? I don't remeber being taught that?


it was about working memory model

Yup. Like I said it can't get much worse. Relying on the grade boundaries to be dropped and that we get a nice paper 2 so I can pull back marks

Nope not that I know of. Just had a look and couldn't find one

For the WMM question, i only evaluated?
And for the MSM, i wrote evaluation points supporting that the STM and LTM are separate?
