AQA PSYA3/PSYA4 Psychology Revision Thread 10th/17th June 2013

I've noticed that they ask questions on explanations (coincidence/probability/superstition/magical thinking/personality) EVERY year, sometimes more than once. But haven't asked about the study of anomalous experience(ganzfeld/pk/pseudoscience) or research in to exceptional experience (NDE/OOBE/psychicmediumship/healing) as much...
They haven't asked any questions on psychic healing specifically or near death experience alone yet so that is definitely a possibility. Anomalistic is so difficult to guess for... they seem to throw in quite a few questions which can be beneficial for those of us that are doing it. I know I'm babbling on so I'll stop lol hope this has been even a little helpful.

thanks, i am normally quite good at guessing but this time i just have no clue and i find anomalistic so boring so its really hard to remember all the info. whats the most likely to come up do you think?

ugh I agree it's so boring, I'm finding it very difficult to question spot but I think that psychic healing or near death experience will come up as well as coincence/personality and possibly PK/ganzfeld I know that doesn't really narrow it down by much but yeah I think around 4 questions will be asked?

thanks! and not many people seem to be doing it on here, but thats probably because its so boring haha. what grade are you aiming for?

I'm going for an A grade, I did the PSYA3 resit on the 10th and I'm feeling pretty cool about it so fingers crossed! what about you?

I'm trying to get an A* i re-sat PSYA2 to try and get full UMS but I am happy if i manage to get an A . I'm hopeful the resit went OK but someones phone went off during the exam so they have reported it to the exam board and i don't know how that will affect the results. its hard at the moment though because i have C4 maths on tuesday as well!

Good luck!

Any predictions for media/depression/ research methods anyone

Any predictions for media/depression/ research methods anyone

thanks i didn't think about magical thinking but its similar to the explanations of superstitious behaviour isn't it?

any of you guys know how whats the diff in ao1 and evaluation in models of addiction, ah seems like a stupid question but i dont get it!
