    WJEC PY4 - June 18th 2012
    (At least, I think that's when the exam is!)

    Anyone else doing PY4 in the summer? I'm definitely finding it the hardest so far - I understand all the material but it's just remembering it all. I thought PY2 was hard but I never imagined how difficult to remember this one would be. The only ones I'm really confident on are Hypnosis, Bias in Diagnosis and the Aetiologies and Treatments of Depression and Schizophrenia. The other ones we're studying are Biological Rhythms, Dreams, Sleep and some other ones I can't even remember the names of FML.

    I'm in line for an A, I need 91/120 UMS for an A which I really really want to get because I've got As in all the other modules, but to be honest this is so hard I'd be happy with a B as long as I get my grades for Uni!

    Wow that's really low amount for an A... have you had like full marks in all the others? I think I only just scraped As in all mine so far which is why I need 91/120 for an A overall :laugh:

    It is a horrible amount of work :sad: which ones are you doing? We're doing Controversies (obviously), Memory ( :yucky: ), Levels of Consciousness (:yucky: ) and Abnormal Psychology which I love

    Yeah, fortunately i've had almost full marks on every other exam. Not really sure how!
    I agree the amount of content is so horrible and we're doing levels of consciousness, abnormal and forensic (all of which I despise!)

    I am doing the exact same course and i agree, they're so hard, especially when your teacher barely helps you at all
    I think i need the same amount of marks to get a B

    I think when it gets to the exam, I'll probably realize that but at the minute, PY2 seems a million years ago and there's so much in PY4 to learn that I'm like "Wahh I want to go back to PY2" that said, I don't envy the first years doing PY2 at the moment either :eek:

    So you have 206 out of 280 UMS so far? (200 for the two AS modules and I think PY3 is 80 UMS because PY4 was 120..)

    I think that changes every year. 74 UMS isn't that big an ask, just think of it in terms of UMS and that you need, what, a C grade?

    I've done all my essays, now to condense them and try to learn them. Thank heavens for index cards!

    I can't remember all my UMS marks from modules, I scraped an A in the first one (64/80) and I need 91 in the exam to get an A, but no idea what I got for PY2 and PY3 other than that the grade was an A for both
