    yes there is a choice between 2 controversy Qs, if you have learnt all the controversy Qs then you will be able to answer the 2 that come up...
    Well the one out of the two? Because you only answer one question from Controversies, surely?

    No, DEFINITELY learn both! Do not go into the exam having learnt just one explanation, as they clearly ask for "explanations" of memory disorders.learn both amnesia and alzheimers. Good luck!

    you do only choose one of the controversy Qs but if you know them all you have the choice of CHOOSING ONE out of the two whereas if you didn't learn one of of C essays then it may mean that you can only answer one of the C essays if the one you haven't learnt comes up...do you see what I'm trying to say?

    Alright. Could've been better but also could've been a LOT worse. I think I managed to get everything I could've down though.

    I don't dare look at recent past papers, it makes me think I can not revise some stuff, which is lucky because culture variations came up in Jan too. :P
    I did Nature/Nurture, Cultural Variations in Relationships, Treatment and Punishment of Crime and Theories of Aggression in Sport. You?

    Wow, that was lucky. XD How much did you write for T&P of crime?? I wrote the most since there was so much to write. :')

    I hated sport. I wish I'd been able to do abnormal. :/ Forensics was quite good, kinda complicated too though. We nearly did memory, but switched to relationships. I liked relationships, it made sense.
