I'm doing Schizophenia, Research Methods and Media... but there is a possibility we might be studying Anomalistic Psychology instead of Media! (which is stuff like paranormal, so sounds reeeeeally exciting :tongue: ) :biggrin: x

Haha, I'll have to keep reminding you to check the thread every so often. :smile:
Yeah, those are a few of them. That's good that you've had a head start, I've done some of them in AS Geography and Biology too, so we should be absolutely fine. :smile:


Yeah you may have to! I've promised myself that I'm going to try and stay on top of all my work this term and revise as I go along, but I say that after every exam and it hasn't happened yet!

You only have to pick 2 topics, as the third (Research Methods) is compulsory.

Oh cool. :biggrin:
Problem solved then, but lets just hope that the rest of my class also agrees to do this. :tongue:
What grade did you get last year?

I'm doing the same topics, and we also really wanted to do Anomalistic Psychology. But my teacher said that the whole point of the topic is to prove that there are no such things such as out of body experiences and stuff. Thought it was really cool at first too...
But yeah, i'm really looking forward to study Schizophrenia now :biggrin:

My teachers just a bit slow to be honest. I just revise the contents on my own, i cannot rely on such people.

My school has this exam next friday, I would say that Addiction is the hardest out of the 3, while schizophrenia is the easiest, and research methods is not really psychology, it basically tests you on common sense.

We're doing phobias, media and research methods.
Sounds like fun. :s-smilie:
Love how early the thread is :tongue:
We're doing Depression, Addiction and (obviously) the Research Methods.
Was kind of hoping we'd get to do schizophrenia and addiction but oh well, started depression today and it's not too bad :smile: I've decided to actually keep up with everything and make revision notes as we go through stuff for this unit so I can pull up my presumably crap unit 3 grade! Haha wonder how long that'll last :rolleyes:

Hello everyone,

Thought I should make this thread nice and early for the exam which is on Monday 18th June 2012 at 9:00am.

The PSYA3 thread was a great success especially for post-exam discussion, and I would like to follow on from that with this for the final Psychology exam!

Thanks to Mephestic for creating the PSYA3 thread. :smile:



Which topics are you guys doing if you already know?


I'm doing: Addictive Behaviour, Depression and Research Methods.


You may discuss.




Good luck! :dance:


Depression is AMAZING, Addiction not so much, and reaserch methods its obvs a massive ball ache!

I'm in year 13, but my teachers reversed the order of the exams, because unit 4s harder, so by doing it first we have the opportunity to resit (he obviously has a lot of faith in us!)

P.S, reaserch methods is SOO much harder than at AS, CRAZY.
Hey I'm doing depression, anomalistic psychology and research methods :smile:


anomalistic looks quite fun actually my teacher said we'll be watching a lot of derren brown.. yay video lessons! haha :biggrin:

Same, i'm thinking depressions may be good as it has less content and will be interesting to learn. Another is media, which i will be personally interested in, seeing how it influences peoples opinions about certain topics. :redface:
