ohh gosh... i just never every got A/B/C in any of my timed question
no matter how hard i try- the exam technique just kills me off
plus my teachers terrifies me so that's another reason i don't like psychology
but it's very interesting though :biggrin:

The same has happened to me! It's always the exam technique which causes me to not do as well as I'd hope in Psychology. I'm so glad I'm not the only person studying psychology who has had this situation, I felt like I was the only one who was :s-smilie:

(paper +mock advice sorry lol)
it may seem silly but write next to each question what techniques will be involved in answering. for instance in my C3 mock i metaphorically tore each question apart and got 99UMS (lol 74/75) for instance; differentiation, highlighting the products and quotients , writing the appropriate trig identities next to a trig "prove" question. also remembering that questions and techniques can link in can help quite a bit.

when doing questions themselves take time and concentrate on the technique and specific answer forms your exam board may ask for from you.
hope this helps you:smile:

ps. don't be disheartened if you get things wrong

According to my brother: Maths revision is pretty dull. With Maths there are no short cuts to success. What he did was every single question in the book and then did any past paper he could he find which tested the knowledge of the modules he had learned.

He came out with pretty much full UMS in everything
