    cognitive approach. I was looking today at past papers to predict which one of the approaches might come up. There was a general question about naming two approaches and saying things about them but never unless my memory serves me wrongly cognitive approach hasnt been up on its own as a biggie.

    Yes - they always ask a question on social change and social cryptoamnesia is needed.

    I'm doing this exam.
    I hate Psychology with a passion and I'm dropping it next year but I still want a decent pass
    I don't have a clue what I'm doing and I've only just finished the unit and I haven't done any revision... this isn't going to go well.
    Good luck everyone

    Well is there anything that you don't understand and if you let us know on this thread about topics you may need help in then we could help you.Also, don't worry, you have enough time to revise everything and do past papers though it may be best to do the hard topics first and then just do past papers and eventually you would have covered everything. You can still be able to go over the easier topics.

    I don't have time to fully cover all aspects of this unit. I can't remember a thing about stress but I'm pretty good with the other topics I'd like to assume.
    I have 2 weeks until my exams start and 8 exams in that time (including this one and my psya1 exam) and as Psychology is my 4th/5th subject it doesn't get priority.
    This psychology one is my last exam so I'm gonna cover things as best I can for now and do some major cramming.
    Thanks for the advice though, I'll be sure to hang around here and post in between revision times.

    when majority accepts minority's view and then when minority become the majority somehow those who accepted minority's view can't remember if they (the minority) were the minority.
    i think this is what it is, make sense?
