    There was:
    - Outline 2 assumptions of the cognitive approach
    - Describe attribution theory
    - Explain how the biological approach has been applied to psychosurgery or chemotherapy
    - 2 advantages of the biological and 2 disadvantages
    - Compare and contrast the biological and cognitive approach
    - Explain and evaluate the methodology of the psycho dynamic approach

    + I'll be sure to do that

    I love learning about Psychology - but I froze in the exam and had a blank moment. Really cost me, I think I flopped - just hoping I get a C at least. PY2 I just need to do really well in now.

    Are PY1 & PY2 both weighted at 50%? Otherwise it might not be so bad

    What was the therapy question on ? ( Q2)

    Otherwise not a bad selection really.

    The weighting of the papers is 40% to PY1 and 60% to PY2 - so must do better in PY2

    attribution theory??: I found that one quite simply compared to the others.

    The compare and contrast question was the hardest I though.

    Yes, I mean the psychosurgery/ chemo one!

    Attribution theory is the theory that is part b of the two part question 1.

    It was doable then.

    Thanks.
