Re: AQA A AS Psychology January 8th 2009Wonder how the grade boundaries will differ from the old specification's Module One as well ..
In January 2008, Module One's grade boundary for an A was 44/62, a B was 38/62 and a C was 33/62.
In June 2008, an A in module one was 42/62, a B: 36 and a C: 31.
Sooo hope they stay around that.

Re: AQA A AS Psychology January 8th 2009guys I'm worried now. lots of peeps here wrote both learning and evolutionary theory, but I only did the learning theory. I'm screwed! I talked about dollars and miller's learning theory then two conditions: operant and classical. then used skinner, Pavlov and harlows to evaluate the conditions and the theory. is that enough? awww.. I'm worried now.(Original post by sadmollz)
I talked about both of them....It said chose one or both -

Re: AQA A AS Psychology January 8th 2009Don't worry about it! Sounds like you've written enough, I only wrote about both because I didn't know them in a lot of detail and I had enough time left(Original post by maxell)

Re: AQA A AS Psychology January 8th 2009I only wrote about Evolutionary Theory. It said "write about one or more". Basically, you can write about one in more depth or two in less depth.(Original post by maxell)

Re: AQA A AS Psychology January 8th 2009Yeah, it's always going to be about 70% for an A in Psychology(Original post by lil groovy dude)

Re: AQA A AS Psychology January 8th 2009Possibly, I hope so.(Original post by Malsi101)
I think I've lost about 20 marks, if I'm lucky not any more...do you think 52 is enough for an A?
On last years spec it was 42/62 for an A, so a drop of 20 marks got an A last year, I hope for the same this year lol -

Re: AQA A AS Psychology January 8th 2009yeah...hopefully...and because it's new it might have even gone down...but tbh 20 marks off last years spec for an A is nice...20 marks off for any spec is nice
and that's only 62%...so even if it has gone up .....hmm... -

Re: AQA A AS Psychology January 8th 2009good to hear guys...cos I missed the 12 marker but feel I did well on the rest...unless they're so specific I think I might have only lost about 8 marks on the rest so...hoping I've lost no more than 20...If I haven't lost more than 20 then I've been so lucky, thank god

Re: AQA A AS Psychology January 8th 2009Hi guys,
I was just wondering, you know the new spec question about studying the little boy's behaviour, I thought it was hinting at the PDD thing so I put they could look at how he behaves when his mother leaves him (Seperation anxiety) and how he reacts to her on reunion. Cause if he has the PDD syndrome, he will perhaps ignore or reject her on reunion.
Do you think that is an acceptable answer? Cause most people seem to have put things regarding verbal and physical behaviour and behaviour towards toys, so I'm just getting a bit worried. -

If anything I think you're right..but what was the exact question again?
What did everyone put for the characteristics of securely/insecurely attached?
I didn't know which insecure to pick(resistant or avoidant but I chose resistant)
