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?


I'm glad you pulled through in the end :')
I'm pretty sure you did pretty well then.

I think I just about managed haha. The only question I didn't answer was the Rahe findings and conclusion because I didn't cover it all, and I couldn't exactly bullsh*t my way through a question which is based on giving figures and statistics! But yeah, I thought it was ok apart from that

The only think I could remember for Rahe was a 0.118 correlation coefficient and something about deciles? I made an educated guess at the conclusion.

So yeah, very little for a 12 marker but eh.
I thought the exam went okay - was happy with the cognitive debate! Was just wondering if your paper asked for a histogram of a bar chat? As there is much debate about this on Twitter and mine asked for a bar chart?

That'll get you maybe 2 marks. Who knows... 2 marks could be the difference between an A or B grade haha

I think 20 minutes per essay seems reasonable because it then leaves you with 50 minutes on section A, and that's sufficient imo.
I always feel like I'm in need of about 5 minutes more for these psychology exams :P

It was a bar chart. What level of measurement and central tendency did you say it was?

I had bar chart as well. I guess the level of measurement and put nominal but I think that's wrong. A lot of people put ratio though. I said it was the mode but my teacher said the mode or median would do!

Haha so true! If we had like 5-10 more minutes it would be so much better :tongue:
And I agree i don't think section A/B should take more than 50minutes there usually straightforward anyway

Am I the only one who put it down as ordinal?

You could always attempt the essays first? I'm always quicker at Sections A+B but it depends on how you feel. This is where past papers come in handy!

At least PY3+4 are after half term - after tomorrow I'm halfway through my exams :biggrin:

Some people in my class did. That was quite a hard question really because I didn't really know. I put nominal because there were no 'gaps' between the numbers e.g. 5-10.
Wasn't it the rating on a scale of 0-5?

I have a sociology exam tomorrow so I'm currently revising for that, but I'll re-start on Thursday as I really need to give myself a break after today's huge meltdown over PY2.

I'm relatively strong on it and it's only really the essays that I need to go over in major detail. I'll make some flash cards to go over definitions of key terms in Sections A+B with my mum (aka my best revision buddy) and I'm sure I'll be fine :smile:

It's just PY4 I worry about!

How about you?

I can't remember. I thought it was to do with the grades?
What did everyone put for question 3?! The Milgram and Lab experiment question. That wasn't really clear to me. What did everyone put?
