You do have to work hard, all i'm saying is that it's really easy if you do (much easier than the likes of physics or economics) You never really have to apply yourself and imo in an AS-Level that should be a requirement. If you have memorised
(not learnt) everything you could EASILY get full ums IMO


I think you need to put your opinion elsewhere, as it's not going to make anyone who felt that exam went badly feel any better.

How many marks can you drop and still get 100 ums???


Last year 62/72 was full 100 ums so you can drop ten

I'm not trying to sound like a d*ckhead but i didn't really revise for that exam (only learnt about SIT 5 minutes before the exam started) but if a kid did revise they could have easily got 100ums. I only did 2 past papers and i recognised a good 4 questions (probably 15 marks all together) it's just a shame i didn't remember the answers lol


Cool story

I did workplace but I think you can do life changes because it talked about her life outside work

No that's fine it could be SIT or hardiness training


Phew!! Think it went quite well but don't want to be overly confident but hoping that my unit 1 score will bring me up!!

for the janet question i started writing about workload and johansson study but then i thought it was wrong so i crossed it all out and instead i wrote about low job control and marmot et al, i also wrote a little on rahe et al and life changes? is this wrong? this question was 4 marks, right? correct me if i'm wrong


No that answer is perfectly right, you could do either work load Johansson or control-marmot not sure about life changes though I suppose that works

I flopped the exam too... It's not a huge deal though? It is a fake subject at the end of the day. And i'm sure you did well enough in Unit 1 to make up for some mistakes for unit 2 (bear in mind that jan 2013 i think was 66% for an a)

My god I can't remember this question .. Was it the one where you can say RET as well? As I said the ABC model


I don't think there was a question where you shouldve mentioned the ABC model? there was nothing on the cognitive approach to psychopathology was there?
Original post by Lad lol
**** how many marks was that question
Worth? I said RET and abc model ffs


Can't remember if it was 4 or 6 marks?? I think RET and abc are to do with cognitive approach to abnormality but I might be wrong :/

What did everyone do for the analysis of psychoanalysis ?

- I said potensial ethical issues due to bringing back the unconscious memories .. And how it can make the person more stressed than before

- also talked about a strength that it was supported by Anna o... Cade study and how psychoanalysis helped her

- but spoke about the limitations of using case studies and generally how case studies are bad .. E.c.t :/ idk what I'd get out of 4 Though

Was the question on behavioural approach 8 marks? and was it just outline and not evaluate?


it was 6 marks, purely AO1. There were no 8 mark questions which was weird?

Anyone have an idea on what grade boundaries are going to be like? About how many marks for an A?


53/4 = A most probably
It was the behavioural approach ^^

Had to talk about operant /classical conditioning and social learning :smile: xd

No but I thought it applied as a psychological method of stress too. It's in my revision guide and I guess CBT is kinda psychological :frown: how many marks did I lose ffs
