Any predictions for the 12 marker? I reckon it will be on the psychopathology section or stress!

Anyone got any predictions for 12 marker? Could social change come up as it hasn't been asked as an essay? Or maybe stress management?

I've just printed off loads of notes off getrevising.com, very useful so I would totally recommend doing that. I am hoping its all gonna come flooding back to me when I'm rewriting notes again. I mean, for some reason, I can remember really random terms like adrenocorticotropic hormone and sympathomedullary pathway, no I just need to remind myself what they mean hahaha. Good luck anyways!!! PSYA3 was a killer, can't afford to resit this resit when I'll probs have to resit PSYA3 anyways :frown:

spot on, I found an awesome document on there stating all the notes we need to know. Lol I think whatever we learnt has not stayed in either my short term memory or long term memory. Thats good, at least you don't have to start from scratch :smile:

. Thanks, to you as well!!! :biggrin:

Aah, I know. I spent so long on the insomnia question that I didn't have enough time on the others. Aah well, I like psychology as a subject but exams wise its gotta be one of the hardest. :s-smilie:
