Psychology AQA A PSYA4 18th June 2012!

I seriously hate Addiction with a passion! Although I much prefer the way the questions are broken down

I think I will do research methods first as I tend to get that done quite quickly so I can give myself plenty of time for Schizophrenia and Addiction.


Any predictions for Schizophrenia and Addiction?

lol great! i actually hope this does come up now, thanks again

TPB?

Thanks.

If this comes up, the chances of a method/results section are low, right?

What would the final 10 marker be on then? :s

yeah the last time a consent form came up was June 2010 i think
That year there was no long 10/12 marker at the end just more shorter questions!
Dont know if that would be a good thing or not, what do u think?

That's a good idea actually, doing research methods first might put you in a more positive frame of mind going into the dreaded Psychology in Action questions

Anybody know if we were asked to discuss issues surrounding the diagnosis and classification of schizophrenia what AO3 points would you make?

I hope so too! What treatments would you disuss if that was the question? Also, does she think it will be a 24 marker or split with another question? Like classification and diagnosis

Think it would be better if there was a do-able 10 mark question, as they are generally just practising what has been said on past mark schemes.

If there isn't one, it means the marks will obviously be split across all of the other questions, which means you will generally have to know more about alot of other stuff!

Hey, it might put you in a good frame of mind, but it might be better to start with an essay question cause youll've planned it and know exactly what you're going to write so you'll be able to get it down almost without thinking.

I reckon if you do an essay first you'll get into the swing of the exam quicker and you'll have more time on the other two sections
But that's just me putting my view out there

- Hollistic - One of them has different parts to it which look at a range of things e.g. brain injury, social interactions - think it was the DSM

That's all I can think of....

i did the paper in jan and it was on reliability and validity issues. i got my paper back and only got 13 on the essay. i relised i hardly put any synoptic points in etc but theres actually not alot i can think of :/

hope biological therapies come up.


predictions for addiction anyone?

we had to plan an essay an I found it so difficult because it isn't a specific approach so its hard to criticise in terms of synoptic points! I think its only ever been asked once aswell so could come up!
