AS Psychology AQA PSYA1/2 Revision Thread 2015!

It said something like the success of her project was down to the work of her other colleagues

With life changes, was it because of her daughter's wedding?

What do you think i would get for the behavioural approach out of 6 marks

I wrote that the emphasis is on the environment and how behaviour is acquired through social learning and classical/operant conditioning. The emphasis is also on the external factors and behaviour that is learnt can be unlearnt and this is how abnormal behaviour develops through learnt and treated( un learnt). An example would be wear a eating disorder is created through operant conditioning. The person may lose weight to gain social acceptance or praise from peers. Therefore the eating disorder is maintained through positive re inforcement. Also another example is how it explains a phobia such as UCS(noise) and UCR (fear), then UCR(noice) + NS(clown) > UCR(fear) then the CS(clown) and CR(fear). how much out of 6 roughly

Really???! I wrote about systematic desensitisation too so I think I lost 12 marks

I wrote about biological approach instead of behavioural, and I gave detailed explanation so could I get like 1 or 2 marks for it or none?☺️

I probably think because this is only a six-marker rather than a twelve-marker they might be less generous with marking. I would say unless you are extremely lucky you are unlikely to get more than one mark. I wouldn't worry about it too much though as theres nothing we can do now!

If im being honest then well You will get 0 marks because examiners expect you to know the difference and frankly they will think you dont know your stuff im sorry but your more likely to get 0 than 1 but you never know you may receive some credit but is unlikely, i dont understand why people do not read the questions properly so you wouldnt be in this predicament

I do know the difference I clearly started my answer by saying the 3 main assumptions of the biological approach are.... It thought it said biological

Alright 6 marks for you leave me alone

Okay guys we all need to relax and stop getting anxious over our answers. I mean yesterday was fine talking about it but today as well come on we should move on and ace our other exams. 😀

It was as if the examiners knew it was the last year so couldn't be bothered to produce new questions and bunged a load of old ones together. How did you find it and what do you think the grade boundaries will be?

I found both exams really good based on grade boundaries for previous years unit 2 has had the highest 54 for an A and lowest 48 for an A im thinking 51 for an A this year last year it was 50. unit 1 grade boundaries are often 3 marks more than unit 2 tbh theyre quite low considering its out of 72 what about you? how did u find it

I thought both went well overall but I was stronger on the unit 2 and threw stupid marks away in unit 1 research methods. I'm hoping the grade boundaries are no higher than 57-a 52-b etc in unit 1 and then no higher than 55-a 50 b etc in unit 2.

BTW for the personality in type A and B did you have to refer to the HPA system as this is the only thing that worries me?
