    I found it ok, a few of the questions were quite hard, like the one about the menstrual cycle, that had a graph labelled W X Y Z..

    The question about the nicotine was weird I put for it - neither the doctor or patient knew which had the placebo , they gave the placebo to smokers who had high anger levels .. Was unreliable because they had 20 volunteers (eliminated others) I did b1b aswell which i thought was harder than b1a

    LOL!
    This is my retake of my retake for B1b:P
    And I put that it was "unreliable because they had 20 volunteers" too

    I think B1a was slightly more difficult since i didn't have that much time to revise it.

    Ye that was, I put the doctors knew but not the volunteers , cos if neither of them new then they couldn't record the info..u no which one took the placebo..but. I dunno.. I put they gave it to non smokers with high aggressive, I did put ur one bt then changed it... Nd I put the same for the reliable one,

    I only spent 2 days in total revising both - oops :P What are you hoping to get? Some people in my school did some of these cores like 4 times!
