Remember there are 3 sections, 1, stress 2, abnormality and 3, social psychology, each section will be worth 24 marks. There will be only ONE 12 mark essay question, however it is possible to get other essays up to a total of 10 marks. Best of luck for tomorrrow. :P

There is still hope! Reduce studies to the minimum, you need hardly any for the third topic :smile:

social infleunce if you know the main three, Milgram,Moscovici and Asch with just a couple on top you should be fine, so I'd spend most time learning studies for biological psychology! Also, remember you can say a psychologist/ investigator rather than listing a name if you get stuck, it's more important to learn the studies and their findings than the names! Hope this helps :smile:

Hi guys, does anyone know what section the 12 mark question from last year was in? I've been looking at past papers, but I only have the ones up to Jan 2010.

freud's views on the origins of abnormal behaviour and ways of treating it had a great impact on psychology -

outline and evaluate the psychodynamic approach to abnormality

thats Jan 11
