The evaluation question asked you to evaluate the explanation of anorexia you used initially, using research. It also asked to include a comparison in your evaluation.


You've got good memory. Yes so i used a study to give support as evaluation point for the explanation and compared learning explanation w my first explanation.

Well, you dont need a high grade so you can relax. I need an overall A grade and so worried about the potentially high grade boundary and if i can maximise marks for each question

By the way, what did you put for the question on practical issue. Thats 6 marks right? And the other experiment on observation? Another6 marks?

There was only one 12 marker so I think the token economy one might have been 8

I listed the basic raw mark scheme right above your post. :smile: The only one I can't remember is the one after 'Why the Psychodynamic Approach isn't scientific' or something along those lines.

I seem to be the only one who did the other 18 marker and not the ethics one :colondollar:


i did B too. I wrote about Agency theory, and the fact that Milgram and Hofling back it up, but there are other studies that say there must be some sort of in between stage, the i did Eye Witness testimony, and i worte about how reconstructive memory means its not reliable anymore, and trials based on EWT are a major problem in society. i found it way easier...

Original post by kingshan16
Crap you had to write it as a article? I just wrote it in general?


yeah, it was meant to be written in the form of an article.

Passed this exam with flying colours, 110/120... And I was honestly expecting a D in it.
I retook the entire Alevel which definitely helped for future psychologists out there!
Hard paper but if you know your stuff you'll be fine. :smile:

I got a C in this exam but an A overall so chuffed.
I was predicted an A* but that's more than I needed for Uni.
