I think they'll do something really hard for the 12 marker like privation/day care/ deprivation :frown:

I hope they don't though...

and has anyone done any past papers?!

Its just a nightmare isnt it! Ive nearly remembered all the memory research studies but then BAM! attachment studies :frown:

ahhh how are we suppose to remember such detail for about 50 studies :/ Does anyone know how to get the past paper for Jan 2013? Ive done a bit of past paper questions but i guess its just panicking me even more. What do people think will be on the 8 marker question? and what grades did people get for this exam?

Privation and day care unlikely to come up, as privation came up in January.

The 12 mark privation question in jan was what I lost so many A02 marks on... hoping for better in PSYA2... :smile:

Does anyone else think PSYA2 is a lot harder? the immune system and biological stuff?

Yes I think it's harder and there is a lot more content to learn this time around :frown:

Yeah, I don't know how i'll do on this one, conformity and abnormality are alright, but I hate stress. I've got a bit of a buffer from January though but hopefully that wont be necessary

Go through everything in your notes, trust me it's really important, I didn't enough in Jan and lost marks for it. I think this website might help you, I'm going to use it to go over for PSYA2 because they can ask research methods in that aswell! :frown:

Good luck and I hope this helps! :smile:

Unlikely privation or day care will come up, as they came up in January 2013 and June 2012 respectively.
Don't hold me to it though, AQA are tricky as hell.

Does anyone know how you would answer the BPS question in Jan 13 paper? I wouldn't have a clue.. I want to see the mark scheme to see what they are actually looking for. I don't even remember being taught that. Does anyone have the mark scheme? :frown:

The 12 marker will most likely be on Memory as the last two were Attachment. Predictions
the working memory model
misleading information on EWT - most likely!
Anxiety on EWT
Age on EWT

However if people answered the 12 marker poorly last exam they may throw it in again, AQA are awkward like that!
