What I've done is find model answers for each of the essays and used them to create my own. ( We had a crap teacher so I've hardly got any notes, paha )
Though seeing as it's in 2 days, I think you should just go over the basics for each study and whatnot.

I also hope Gardner Procedures comes up.. or Rosenhan.. something to do with them. If Rahe comes up I will cry, haha. :ahee:

I've been told to look at Milgram.

You have no way to second guess this board, and my teacher has said that emphatically. You just have to learn it ALL. And the more you know, the better you will do :frown:

Is anyone else finding the alternative evidence absolutely impossible to remember: I only know it for Gardner & Milgram

Don't second guess anything, learn all the studies. Alternative evidence is awkward but don't waste time learning the names of researchers, as long as you have the basics of what they did and whether they support or contradict the results of the study is all that matters.

This is good advice :3 I also found this website that does model answers for all the studies: www.spicystrawberry.wordpress.com

That might help? Good luck to everyone :P

My prediction from looking at the past papers is that the possible quesions that could come up for section B for the methodology is; Rosenhan, gardner and gardner or Milgram, as these have not come up at all. I am not sure about section A, as anything would come up but my guess is that Gibson and walk and langar and rodin will come up.
