AS Psychology AQA PSYA1/2 Revision Thread 2015!

really? how come?

a2 results were priortized apparently i get them 2moro taking the p***

Are they allowed to do that!? I'd be fuming tbh, that really takes the biscuit (since you can't say piss on tsr apparently ) So you really have no choice but to wait? Don't they release them online or something?

there was a code thing but i didnt take it since i thought id get it today...worst part is mail comes at 11 in the morning...

Got a B 🎉 well done everyone , does anyone know how to convert the UMS marks to raw marks so i can see how far i was off each grade on the grade boundaries ?

I got a C, but throughout the year I've been getting B's on the mocks and I was certain I had gotten a B overall. I'm gutted because I wanted a B so badly and it's what I'm hoping to study at University. When I spoke to my teacher she did say that I was about two marks off a B, and so I'm very unsure as to what I should do now?
I don't want to re-sit, but I'm not sure if it'll be worth re-marking or how I would go about that seeing as my Psychology teacher didn't seem interested in trying to push for that (there were a lot of people in a queue behind me, I feel that it could be because they were trying to just move me along). I could try to make it up next year but I know that'll be a lot harder and I'm uncertain as to what to do.

I got 2 Es (exactly the marks needed to get an E on both papers) I'm sending them to be remarked as I was almost certain I had at least a B!!!

My ums for PSYA1 was 68 which is a c, so I did 68% of 72 to get a raw mark of 48.96? Is this correct or am I being a dullard? If it is If I roujd up I am 4 marks off an B (53) or 5 if its at 48.
Should I ask for my paper to be remarked or is this too big a leap? D:
If I ask for both then over all I would only need 3 marks total to get 70% of 144 which would be a B. (I used the same calculation as before)



is it just 2 ums? 70% = 70 ums? since each exam is 100 ums.? idk

With all due respect, Psychology only has a minimal degree of subjectivity and the large majority of questions are looking for very specific structure / points covered. I doubt the examiner has marked so incorrectly that you will go up to a B or an A - that would require a massive botch job! Perhaps you would be better off investing the money into resitting the exam next year?

I was more thinking that there was a computer error, I've gone a whole year of doing mocks and have recieved As consantantly. I think it's a bit odd that in 2 exams I thought I done really well on I received 2 Es, and on both papers I got the exact mark needed to get an E, any lower it would have been a U. I've got nothing to lose apart from £80 and it would put my mind at ease.
