What did everyone put for the personality question. I put hardiness for the first one and the second one type B. But people are saying I'm wrong

The first one was Type A.

That is because Caro (I think) became angry when she didn't do well in class (hostility) and wanted to be in the top 5% (excessive competitiveness)

No it said that she would become angry if she did not achieve. The 5 per cent shows challenge, she is in control because she has done allot of revision and she is commited as she is looking at others

I disagree. The looking at others shows she wants to do better than them, which implies she is competitive rather than committed.

The next question. How did you write about which person was more likely to suffer the negative effects of stress, as both hardy and Type B are healthy personality types?

Someone in my class didn't evaluate for the 12 marker,i went blank on social influence but i think i picked up a few marks. It wasn't so bad but the first exam was far easier.

Hardiness is a characteristic, not a personality type.

what did you talk about then? by biological therapies it was referring to electroconvulsive therapy, drug therapy and psychosurgery - i did the first two.

overall this exam was beautiful second time round (last time i got a C since i didnt answer the 12 marker) the only question did that put me off was the second one which asked what else (aside from relationship between 2 variables) can scattergraphs show us. i said it can highly anomalies in results, did anyone else put something like that? other than that, this exam was brilliant
