AQA A2 Psychology A

Just wondering - for the topics paper are you learning three or four topics? We're being taught four so we have a choice in the exam. I think choosing which questions to do will be hard enough, never mind the actual questions themselves!

resaerch methods is a seperate module!
you do research methods and 2 set topics for unit 4 (which were doing first)
this is along with something like approaches ethics and debates.
Then Unit 3 is the 3 optional modules i think were doing aggression perception and relationships!
hope that helps :smile:

I am self-teaching this. I think I might die a slow death. Doing relationships, gender and probably biological rhythms and sleeping patterns, or whatever it is called. This could easily change.

Relationships, Biological Rhythms and Aggression. OP, I don't think you get a choice of questions on a topic in the exam.

I think you're allowed to answer 3 questions, so I think the OP means whichever topic question she likes the look of more she'll choose. So not answering the gender topic for example, but answering all the others..

unless I'm wrong!

correct.
might just sack off gender and focus on cognitive development, because the crap teacher is teaching those two topics so it's definitely going to be one of those i'm not going to do.

We're doing three. Gender, Eating behaviour and aggression. The amount to learn for one exam seems less than last year, however it seems far more advanced and difficult.

Just wondering if anyone knew if there will be a range of short/middle/essay questions for the exam or just essay type questions?

If you look here they are pretty much all essay questions. Some are full out 25 and some others 9+16 etc.

I'm doing relationships, eating behaviour and biological rhythms. (yay! I like all of mine. :yes:
