I have a question. In Aims and Context do you get 6 marks for aims and 6 for contexts? And in Findings and conclusions is it 6 for each?

Not sure about the first one, re: the second one not sure how marks are structured but we were told that for every finding, it helps to put a conclusion with it

I don't think aims and context are divided as that, as such. At least when I was revising for my exam I did not in any way divide it into 6 marks each but rather revised it as a whole, with aims and context incorporated throughout rather than, I think, distinguished separately. With findings and conclusions, however, I did talk about the findings first and then the conclusions separately. What I found was that even if I forgot to include something from the findings in the 'findings' part of the essay, I could include it in the conclusions part and just write 'such and such also found XYZ and thus also concluded that...' Often there won't be many findings that would alone equate to 6 marks so I don't personally think you should look at it as 6 marks for one and 6 for the other without there being a leeway.

I think my lecturer said if you miss the aims/conclusions out you cannot get more than 6 marks. But I doubt doing the aims alone would get you 6 marks for example as they are really quite short?

I suppose it depends on the question you are asked (for Aims & Context). If the aim is straightforward or small, I think it will come down more to how much of the context you add in (obviously, you still need a good paragraph about the aims). Findings & Conclusions would be the same, I know there were a lot of findings in the Asch study compared to the Loftus & Palmer study - it's about looking at which study and balancing it compared on the information you are given about the study.

This is by FAR the worst exam i've ever had to! and the preparation leading up to it is a killer:/ Not quite sure how I managed to get 119/120 on it tbh
although now that I think about it py2 doesn't have a patch on py4! (dreading that exam so much)
Good luck all, preparing in good time for this exam is really the key, well it was for me anyway and timing yourself with the essays

really? the question states 'summarize the aims and context etc.'
it is 6 marks for both, same with the findings and conclusions as well.
btw, you done the findings and conclusions for Rahe? I'm struggling with him, I hate his study.

Nope I start Rahe tomorrow. and, I was thinking it wasn't even 6 on 6, but then the examiners report said he can't get more than half marks for not concluding Aims so it threw me was like.. :s

Spent pretty much a days worth on L+P writing out all the notes for the 5 questions (3x).. I feel like without notes I could now get 10/12 or so but this is with just doing revision beforehand I can't even remember Rahe at all lol this is by far the worst subject I have to revise for :P

Psychology has dominated my revision. I'm not going to revise for Question 4-5 I'm just going to use generic terminology like Ecological Validity and for Question 6 I'm going to revise the last 2 days before the exam.

[Lakhvir.Singh]

I have LOADS of revision to do for this exam :P

[Miracle Day]

I've learned 9/10 case studies all except Bennet-Levy mainly because the results are huge and I'm not sure what ones to learn from it:s

ahwell, forgetting Psychologyy now for 11 days (let's hope I don't forget anything)

How many marks out of 90 do you need to get an A? What do you think it will be anyway?
I really don't want Rahe for conclusions... he can **** off.

[madders94]

What date's your PY2 exam? Just came in to say good luck

[t.adur]

Is it true you only need 75% to get an A (which is 68/90 marks) ??

[Monster Mnch]

So many case studies, deary me! Thank goodness it's a week until the exam - although PY1 is on Wednesday, and will be getting my full care and attention :P
