Psychology AQA A PSYA2 29th May 2012!

nooooooooooooo

I wrote about marmot and control, but couldn't think of a study that looked into work pressures. I also listed other other 3 workplace stressors that could affect them, might get another mark.

i want an a :'(

What annoyed me on the social influence section was that there wasn't really anything on obedience. The milgram question was only short but even that was about conforming to the same actions of the other two teachers in the room I find the O & E reasons for obedience essay easy.




My teacher's always telling us to use examples - so I did. I try and include puns in my answers but didn't manage any this time On Milgram essays I write stuff like 'shockingly, 100% of participants obeyed to 350v.'

I'm a resitter - I already have an A in this paper (80 UMS), I just need a better one Otherwise I'll need to get 89 in unit 4, which I just won't be able to do
But I'm not sure whether I'd have got quite as high a mark as I was hoping for in this exam (was hoping for like 90 UMS so I'd only just need an A in unit 4 but don't think I'd have got that tbh even though I thought it was a good paper - damn that workplace 6 marker!)

OH Dont worry! Im sure you got your grades :P and just work as hard as possible! GOODLUCK!!!

Hope this exam went well for you

Aw good luck to you too!
Yeah this exam did go well aside from that question
(tip for you all for next year: do lots of essays throughout the year and make revision things as you go along - A2s a bitch )

I really hope I did well. I thought jan went well but I got a D I don't want to resit it cos there's jsut soo many new things to remember plus all the studies. Geography isn't as bad cos I've done most of it before and for 5/6 topics I can use my local area as a case study, so redoing one wouldn't be too bad.

dont think i did very well the first question jst completely stumped me, catching me offguard for the whole paper

now im jst thinking whether or not a psychology degree is right for me, bt i cant think of any other degree id want to do... :/

We haven't been taught it, never heard of it before!

Yeaah but Marmot's two studies are just little supporting ones for Johanssen's Swedish saw mill one, but you could of used them if you wanted I guess..

I stumped for Uni options too, was going to do psychology, as it's the only one of my subjects that i'm interested in, but although i used to be good at it, I've not done very well recently. :/
I was also thinking of criminology, have you thought about similar subjects like that and sociology?

Meg, I'm sure it went well. Hug xx

o i see you have a different book, i actually meant marmot as well as johanssen, thats what i did anyway. funny my books basically the other way lol the saw mill was just about 2 lines long so i could only add in a little bit; marmot's two are the main ones in my book.. thats another reason i'm glad i'm done with psychology there's just to many studies

idk. the only other option is to resit all of psychology, as then you dont have to say what grades you have on your UCAS form... seems to be the only option left :/

Just wait til results day hun, you might be surprised. Gah I hate the way examinations don't reveal people's true talent and passion for a subject. It's such a flawed process.
