OCR A2 psychology, applied options exam

Hey :smile:
just wondering if anyone has any tips for question B's in the A2 OCR psychology exam applied options. Also, I'm really behind on my revision for this exam, so does anyone know if since you get to choose the 2 essay questions, you can learn only 3 categories? for example; knowing Turning to crime, Making a case and Reaching a verdict without learning After a guilty verdict?

Yep definitely. If you read the spec, you only need to know 3 categories. I wasn't taught after a guilty verdict

My college has done 6 different topics and two years ago we could only answer 2 of the questions, it might be safe to try and learn the last category even if its brief :smile:

Thank you :smile: I just didn't realise how long it would take for me to be able to remember just 1 section!
