Wjec Psychology PY3 & PY4 thread

As it happens I do have grade A and A* answers (full mark answers) for the sections I teach. If anyone asks me properly I will send them to them.

Does anyone reckon it is remotely possible to learn the whole of PY4 and PY2 resit in 2 weeks before the 20th an get an A? Because that's what I'm having to do :s

For PY4 just learn 3 sections - everything but the controversy and make sure the essays you learn are all full marks = A. For PY2 do the same with the essays and you should be good. It's possible.

Yeahhh I was kind of hoping to get an A* by the end of the year... perhaps that's pushing it a bit too much hahaha, I just need to live and breathe psychology for the next 2 weeks and see what happens :s especially considering the fact I've applied to Trinity College Dublin

Anyone doing PY3 tomorrow? Any tips pleaseeee

I'm doing PY3 tomorrow. Just remember to be really clear with your answers in section A and B; always try and give a reason for your answer e.g. if they ask for an advantage say why it would be an advantage. And for section C, make sure you're fully answering the question in every paragraph e.g. by making sure you use specific words like 'advantage', 'ethical issue'. Always elaborate on every point you make to maximise your marks. You need to use specific words in sections A and B as well; if there's a question about reliability always use the word consistency, and if there's one about validity always talk about relevance.

Good luck

Just to confirm, do you only need to contextualize when it asks you to in questions?
e.g.
Identify and explain one problem of validity? (4) marks
Explain one advantage and one disadvantage of a field experiment. (4) marks

do you like to link it to the study? I thought it was only the ones that asked.

Most people in my college who did the exam skipped the stats question. I put Spearman's Rank because the study had ordinal data, but I think I messed up and should have put Mann Whitney U (I based it on the fact that the study had a correlation but I don't know if that was relevant). It might even have been interval data because one part of it was about age. I got a bit confused about qualitative data and content analysis too but managed to write something for every question so hopefully I did OK.
