can approaches be &#x27;winged&#x27;

I just need to not fail and i've hardly revised them. I mean after 2 years of studying you must remember something?

i think if you know the basic strengths and weaknesses
and for example
what to mention in psychoanalytic case studies or behavioural experiements then that's all you need

you can't do much else

that's all i'm doing anyway

If you know enough psychodynamic, evolutionary and behavioural to have got decent marks on the other 4 papers (not counting coursework, although that has a fair bit of evolutionary in it if you do the lonely hearts one), then you'll be fine with "winging it" with Approaches, in the same way that no one really revises for Research Methods because they already know it all. But make sure you apply the approaches to the questions!

You sound just like my psychology teacher lol. He says to keep referring it to the question to get the marks and those are the three approaches he chose to teach us.

Can you wing it? Only if you have some knowledge to back you up.

I winged it last year and got a big fat U.

It's pretty much half a page of normal-sized writing per 6 marks, the same as in the AS Level modules.

lol i got A in unit 1 D in unit 2 retook unit 3 and 4 so god knows tbh!! i got a high A in the coursework though which was sent off in january so im still capable of getting an A, if i dont know the answer i will rely on my brain i think!! apparently cos i got a D on one paper i cant lose 59 marks across unit 3/4/5 so i doubt i can get an A although i am confident on unit 3 + 4.. sigh this time tomorrow it wud be alll over
