well looking at the examiners report... it looks like the essay questions were on functionalist views and white collar and corporate crime ... not exactly sure of the exact questions though

I was doing that yesterday, and i think that it'll either be Marxist or Interactionalist/ labelling theory... then i'm not sure about the 15 marker short question. I also think that something might come up about the ways of measuring crime, because nothing like that has come up before really !!

What are you studying for SY4 ??

I'm planning to do the majority of it next weekend as I've got lots more exams this week

I do psychology and Biology both exams this week too!
I got A's in both, not feeling as confident this time, no January exams have ruined me!
How about you?

I do Psychology and Geography, both of which have exams this week too !! So i'm hoping that a few days is enough to get me through for Monday, although i also have my second geography exam on the Monday too, so trying not to prioritise :L
I don't actually have a As grade, I'm doing the whole 2 years in a year, because i did biology and Spanish last year, but had some major problems with them,so had to drop both of them !! So i'm not exactly thrilled at the idea of going in to the A2 exams with no As grade to go off !!

What exam board are you doing psychology with?
A2 is synoptic anyway so you probably have an added benefit doing them all in one go! How did you find the As exams?

For psychology I'm on AQA, what about you?
Yh that's what i'm hoping, I prefered Sy1 (where i did family, i found it more interesting so it was easier) sy2 was alright it could have gone a lot worse but could have gone better,so i'm just keeping my fingers crossed for results day !! :smile:
