I think you're reading them the wrong way. The exam papers near the top are the most recent.

I doubt anxiety will come up as it has done so for the last two papers. Schizo hasn't come up for ages, so it's likely to come up. Then again they seem to like asking about depression a lot, so that is always a possibility.

im not doing the same question as you, im doing therapies :s-smilie:

anyone got any good predictions for that?

also what debates do you think will come up?

any ideas on topics for approaches? bit hard to predict that bit though

it would really help if i could cut down my revision slightly :smile:

Yeah that's what I was thinking, it seems pretty safe to just ignore anxiety completely, right?

In PYA4 I went on the assumption that no question would be asked twice in a row, so three times would be pretty odd!

yeah i think so, but I wanna see jan 08 to see if it follows the pattern :wink:

Debates -

Jan 08 - nature & nurture/psychology as a science
June 07 - reductionism/psychology as a science
Jan 07 - free will & determinism/nature & nurture
June 06 - reductionism/nature & nurture
Jan 06 - Free will & determinism/psychology as a science

URGH if June 08 is reductionism/nature & nurture, i am SO screwed.

Yeah agreed.

I was hoping for psychology as a science, but free will will do.. it's just the other two I have no material on ;no;.

hi there wat questions is everyone doing?am doing 3 and either 4 or 5 but we left out gender so if gender comes up we only have the choice of question5!

btw in jan 08 for treating mental disorders behavioural therapies came up!!! so i reckon compare an contrast bio and beh aint came up in a while so i reckon it could b that or possibly psychodynamic/cognitve behavioural!

I doubt anxiety will come up as it has done so for the last two papers.

A quote from Blackadder Goes Forth springs to mind: "Exactly! And that is what is so brilliant about it. It will catch the watchful Hun totally off guard. Doing exactly what we've done eighteen times before will be the last thing they expect us to do this time."
