WJEC Psychology - PY2

ive spent the past hour looking at patterns in the exams and by the looks of it gibson an walk WILL definitley come up as probably methadology.
in my opinion
aims and context - gardner and gardner
procedures - milgrim
findings and conclusions - asch
methadology - gibson and walk
alternate research - langer and rodin
alternate research - rosenhan

i'll be back 3 o clock tomorrow for my medal.

Just be careful, WJEC have been known to repeat the same questions so you can't predict what will come up completely accurately.

Bah I hate stratified and systematic sampling, I hope one of the research methods questions will be opportunity sampling :sad:

i know what you mean, but its safe to say the methadology won't be buss or milgrim as they are the only ones that have been repeated , also the past 4 exams there has been two methodology questions which is quite offputting whether they'll stick to that or choose two alternate research

Yeah, there are some which are very unlikely to come up as you say but skim read them just in case they're feeling mean! Good luck with tomorrow :smile:

Apparently it has been 2 methodology, 1 alternative evidence for each exam. I hope they don't change it - I find it very easy to do a methodology question in less than 15 minutes, giving me a bit longer to do the alternative evidence which seems to take a lot longer. It's going to be so hard to finish in time if they put in two alternative evidence.

Thanks, I'm doing PY4 in a couple of weeks but I found PY2 quite easy compared to the first exam! Once you get in there it will come flooding back to you.

if i'd have swapped langer with gibson it would have been impressive.
although to be fair it would have been 3 if i had predicted two methadologiies

I think I did ok. Hoping for an A, but I'd be happy with a B. I was happy with the questions, except the alternative evidence, I managed to do 2 but couldn't for the life of me remember the others, it was the only one I couldn't remember at least four pieces of alternative evidence for :sad:

But I did question 7 for the research methods and found that one pretty easy. I was actually really pleased that Asch came up for findings and conclusions and Buss for methodology, because I wrote so much for those two :awesome:

And I remembered pretty much everything for the context of Gardner and Gardner; especially Vicki the chimp :biggrin:

I really thought I did okay today, apparently I only need something like 65% (something like that, haha) to get an A because I got a B (2 marks off an A, gutted!) in the PY1 exam.

Actually sort of enjoyed doing it, I just get into it and I knew far more than I thought I did, my brain just sort of fell out onto the page.

Would have preferred Asch to have been procedures, as I remembered percentages for that and everything :biggrin:

but oh well, had a sigh of relief once I saw the questions, and question 7 wasn't so bad, thought I knew more about experiments than I did about correlational studies, let's hope I was right :P
