AQA A, psychology grade boundaries

Woah. If it's like 37/62 for an A that's a relief.

That means you could get 6 for all the short questions, and then get 6/18 for both of your essays and get an A :-P

To be honest though, I doubt I'll get 6/6 for all the short questions :-P

I'm totally confident about the attachment and memory module though, 57/62 in the mock! I'll probably do not so well in the stress and abnormality module, although research methods and social should be OK!

wow thats amazing!!!!!! noone in my class has ever got higher than 50/62 and that was me! We did a 3 hour mock, it wasn't too bad, i got 77% overall, averaged 23/30. 3 hours isn't really that long, hand and elbow hurt after a bit though! I'm scared i won't do so well! 'cause in that i got 5 or 6 in all the short Qs and then usually 13 in the big one, highest i've ever got n a big one is 15 and that was relatively unrepeatable (EWT). There wasn't any Q that i really didn't know how to answer but looking over past papers on the internet

yeah i'm 'totally' confident about attachment, well i know everything we've ever bee given, if thats enough ?

For the essays just really concentrate on evaluation - supporting studies, evaluation of supporting studies and overall evaluation of the theories involved. That's what we've been taught, and it's not uncommon for people to get 16+ on most essay questions in mocks.
So for example if you were asked to evaluation the maternal deprivation hypothesis you could include Bowlby's 44 theives, Hodges & Tizard's study of ex-institutionlized children, ferrel children, case studies (Genie and the Czech twins) and overall evaluation (i.e. Schaffer & Emerson's findings questioned the idea of monotropy).

Wow, I wish we get that question, lol

do you go to a really good school? everyone in my class sucks or maybe we're just marked harshly! yeah i did that Q in our mock. we've never done ferrel children- lol, i got 13 for it. i want EWT, anorexia causes, maternal dep or theories of attachment, stress management types maybe,

i'm worst on stress and social influence, apparently there should always be an 18 mark Q on ethics in social influence studies

AATTMM, its not, check AQA's website, it varies each year and i think averages about 37 out of 62, not 60, remember two marks for quality of written communication
