For unit 3, how many sides of A4 are the essays meant to be? I can only write 2 sides in half an hour.

I have been doing 2-2 and a half but I am a fast writer. 2 pages sounds enough as long as you have put enough good IDA points in and extended A02 to get the marks

Doing PSYA4: Schizophrenia, Media and Research Methods.

Aiming for an A*...what is really annoying is that to get an A* I need to get an A*, but to get an A I need a low E. :s A LEVEL LOGIC!

Hey will someone take a look at my essay and tell me what they think i can improve on/general opinion. Im learning from home and so i have no teacher to mark them for me. Thanks x

Hi that was a really good essay - I would give you:
A01 = 7
A02 - 14

So 21/24

The reason you didn't get full marks was because in an exam you wouldn't be able to label your paragraphs, so your sentence openers need to be made clearer - whether an A02 point or IDA point. Try starting IDA points with for example "A criticism of this theory/study is.......because......(supporting research)....
Refer to gender bias, reductionist, determinism, reliability when making IDA points and make sure you have a least four clear points.
Other than that it was really good, and I hope you have time to write that much in the exam, because I definitely ran out of time in January
Oh and my teacher taught me to do this in paragraphs:
Point
Evidence
Explain

Thanks for the feedback! Will take on board what you said. And I think I will have time, psya3 is 1 hour an 50 for me because I get 25% extra time (thank god! )

Is anyone doing Addiction as a topic and how did they revise for it? Im at a complete stand still. Cant find a way to revise it

I'm doing PSYA3 next Monday. The topics I'm doing are Relationships, Aggression and Eating Disorders (Anorexia). I've done all my notes just need to read them but I have an RE exam this Thursday which is limiting my revision at the moment for Psychology. I got 74 UMS in Unit 1 (B), 80 UMS in Unit 2 (A) and 68 UMS in Unit 4 (C). So I need 58 UMS in Unit 3 (D) to get a B overall which is what I want. Is Unit 3 easier than Unit 4? I really need to get revising but this RE exam is annoying me so I'm just wondering is getting a D or 58 UMS in PSYA3 easy? Thanks
