    30ums, are you sure? It seems to good to be true... :eek:
    You need 320/400 UMS for an A and 360/400 UMS for an A*, in your position I'd aim for the A*which you'd need 70 UMS in this exam to get it

    Thanks for calculating it for me.
    I had done it myself initially, but thought I made a mistake, so decided to ask someone on here. Yeah, I would love an A*, but at this rate, I don't think I'll even get the 30ums lol. I'm thinking I should just do schizophrenia and aim for full marks, miss out media psychology, and then try and get as much as I can on research methods. I don't have time to revise media

    What would you get then? I have no idea how to calculate UMS or whatever. I've only done RM and one other topic so far and not even all that great.

    You can use this to convert raw marks into UMS:

    What's your RAW mark? Is that just what you got out of 85?

    If your raw mark is your score on the paper... then... D: I only need to perfect RM and one topic and then I'm set for an A!

    50 raw marks = 80ums.....

    RM + Topic = 60!!!!

    It's usually... Out of 85

    58-63 - A*
    52-55 - A
    43-48 -B

    Something like that

    If you're going for an A* and want 70 UMS you only need about 46 marks. So ace RM and get 30-35/35 and then you only need 11-16/25 in your topic to get the mark. Then you don't have to worry about your second topic

    Appropriateness of CBT schizophrenia? Anyone got any good points?? Thanks
    1. Negative symptoms - CBT generates less distressing explanations rather than eliminate them
    2. Kingdon et al - Some patients don't fully engage in the therapy and found that CBT is less effective for older patients

    Not a lot to talk about
