    I overall found the exam okay apart from on the 10 mark behaviourist essay, I put some SLT points though :') I got them mixed up a little :P nevermind, I think I have done well nevertheless. I found the little questions good (apart from the study for gender schema.... I was like :| *complete guess*, and the nature-nurture essay, I had no idea what to write about, but I blagged it a little and got majority right How did you do? xxx

Thought it was a nice exam to have....just worried that the Sociology one will be solid now! :P xxx

    I was really panicking about it. My teacher had been ill so we had a supply teacher for a few weeks leading up to the exam, so I revised as much as I could at home and went into the exam room expecting the worst.
    I actually found it really easy. From past exam papers I knew nature nurture was likely to come up, so I liked the essay question on it. The only trouble I had was the cognitive mediating factors one (I got confused between SLT and cognitive). So I think I've done better than I thought I was going to

    Same! I though we were given a really nice paper this year, AQA seems to have gone soft!
