When they asked for one explanation for eating, by explanation do they mean say just one part like the RSH, or all of the evolutionary?

I assumed just one evo explanation and just spoke about RSH as with that logic you'd be suggesting people who spoke about the hypothalamus dysfunction theory should have spoke about both biological theories therefore including the seretonin/dopamine stuff but the question asks discuss ONE theory of an eating disorder.

For an A overall in Psychology you need 80% of 400 UMS = 320 UMS.
320 - 236 = 84 UMS.

That's what you need for an A

Do you know what you need for A*?

Yep, everything that TSR predicted for my topics came up so I was a very happy bunny . Nope I'm doing it next week too - bricking it! My teacher hasn't taught us any of the new spec changes to anomalistic psychology (which is a fair amount of new material, the old stuff that we've been taught has been replaced) because he didn't even know the spec had changed! He actually denied the spec changes when my class asked him and got defensive that we basically told him he's a crap teacher.

I can't get my head around some of the research methods stuff either. What topics are you doing for it?

ino :} oh well we still got time, just learn it all before the exam (: yeah ino what u mean about bad teachers ! D:

Research methods is okay, just need to do more work on it :] im doin phobias + media wbu?

What UMS did you get for each unit?

For A* you need to get at least 320 UMS with 180 coming from A2. But I can tell you exactly if you tell me your break down of UMS!

Well for an A you need 63 UMS which judging by your past UMS you should get no trouble
For an A* you would need 95 UMS in this paper which would be 55-56/72 raw marks

I was looking at a mock for sexual selection on relationships and i got 17/24 - does anyone approx what grade this would be?? thanks

(Original post by emotionalwreck_)
I think it would be a B as it's 71%

It would be a B based on the percentage. However, the low grade boundaries of this paper mean it would be higher.

If you look at the June 2011 grade boundaries for example:

Say you got 17 on the relationships. and 17 on your other two topics. Thats 51/72 overall, which is an A, and one mark off an A*.

Depends on the grade boundaries completely

I thought the questions for aggression, gender and relationships were really nice it was much better than jan.

I did these questions and found them nice too! Me and a friend managed to guess the ultradian for sleep and the relationships one. And I generally liked the other two.

I said just before the exam "I would be so happy if social theories of aggression came up" - and when it did, I was. My best area of aggression by far.

Can anyone help me work out how many marks in this exam I need to get an A overall, if I have 236 from PSYA1/2/4?

Sorry, if someone has already helped you, but:

A = 320 UMS

320-236 = 84 UMS on this paper to get an A.

From my questions [aggression, sleep, relationships], I think they'll be high, but people on gender seemed to struggle with gender schemes and other topics, so not sure really

Yeah I did aggression and relationships too, as well as eating behaviour and was really happy with the questions. Going to try and stop thinking about grades until August now...

The Psychology paper on Monday was a nice surprise. The questions for Bio Rhythms, Relationships and Gender were a vast improvement on the January paper!

[DipolarBitch]

The Gender Schema question was a breeze, I thought!
