WJEC threads are few and far between so you're absolutely welcome to talk about PY4 :smile:

I'm really sorry but we didn't do that topic, if you need anything for memory, forensic or abnormal however, I may be able to help you out.


Aha thats so kind of you thanks!:smile: and I should be good for those ones just alot of memorising! :/ btw have you done any controversies in psychology model answers the ones where you compare approaches etc? Im quite weak at those to :s

Hi again - no model answers I'm afraid, but I've found a PY4 writing frame that has been useful to me in the past. I hope that may help? :smile:

Yeah sitting the exam is a killer and your hand will hurt a lot, but it isn't difficult because there are only a few essays you have to learn for (well, compared to PY2 lol) :smile:

The essays. Research methods are easy marks after studying PY3 and research methods in sociology, so it's just remembering all of the studies and their evaluative counterparts that I struggle with. Don't even get me started on the critically assess question/s. :s:

Ye the research methods are actually quite easy just remember to always link back to the case study :smile:. With the studies and evaluation i guess for us its just memorising :/ its actually so annoying
I feel for you aswell because both sociology and psychology require so much memory and writing lol!

I'm stranglely okay with sociology but psych gives me a headache with how much I've got to remember! I've resorted to coming up with puns to help me remember the studies/psychologists eg "Frederick Bartlett Rooster Potatoes" for Bartlett's reconstructive memory.

I'm really underprepared for Monday but eh, we'll see what happens.
Good luck for tomorrow! :biggrin:

How was it gang?

How did everyone find the exam? I'm so glad the eyewitness debate came up! I thought they were a little harsh with research methods though.

Better than I thought! I cried a lot before the exam, but I found it okay? Managed Aims and Context, Procedures and the two methodology questions absolutely fine but I bombed on the Findings and Conclusions and didn't answer critically assess because I literally had nothing to write. The studies in Section C was really badly worded but I think I've done okay on that.

How about you guys?
