How Did Everyone Find PYA4??

As the title suggests; how did it go??

I found it quite alright, the questions are the ones I had prepared for and alreay learnt off by heart. the only bad thing was that my hand ached all the way through and i'm a slow writer so it took me forever to get all my points down. after my hand was moulded into its writing shape and it hurt so bead to stretch it out (:
how did you all find it?

I thought it was ok. Our teacher had got the prediction spot on so luckily what I had revised was on the paper!
Sadly due to the fact I left revision a bit late my answers weren't able to be as detailed as I'd like and I still ran out of time.

I had to write all the way through the exam and just about managed to finish, but I diddnt get to put everything in that I wanted to..

I mixed up one of the names though :frown:

I said Bennet-Levvy did the mashed images for phobias, but it was Oman and Soars, which I realised about 5 seconds after walking out the exam.

Hopefully they wont notice. lol.

My hand hurt like hell afterwards.

I did understudied, nature of dreams & evolution of mental disorders. It was easypeasy but I'll probably lose some marks for not mentioning enough research theories.

Brilliant!!!

I predicted 2 / 3 questions correctly so basically did well in the first two. The last question on gender roles/identity was pretty good aswell.

I wrote around 12 and a half pages, so my hand was pretty much in no use by the end of it lol.

Happy days, and hopefully I won't be resiiting, YAYYYY PYA4 is out the way.

Surely that won't make too much of a difference unless it was a major researcher name?

Before we went into the exam I said that the questions I want are theories of aggression, nature of dreams and gender identity and they were the questions! I couldn't ****ing believe it. The only thing that'll let me down though is the AO2. But I should get a good enough grade. :p:

The researchers name shouldnt be too much of a worry really, I just feel a bit of an idiot because I knew it was wrong as soon as I walked out.

I got onto the 10th page of my booklet deally (but diddnt fill it).

I have an achy, breaky hand after that ordeal. It made me laugh because the invigilators were obviously used to people finishing early and we were all still writing. They thought they'd made some kind of mistake!

Questions weren't so bad - at least they didn't give us a nasty surprise by bringing up a topic from June! I'm so glad its out of the way...I best not have to retake.

No more PYA4! :biggrin:

I was looking forward to breathing a sigh of relief when I left the exam room but I breathed the sigh of relief early when I saw the questions. :p:

I wrote 8 and a bit pages but my writing is pretty small.
