AQA PSYA1 (Resit students- old spec)

yeah i put something along those lines too!! so hopefully

I think the four features alone will be enough to satisfy 2 marks. How do you think the boundaries will be for this exam? I think they'll be like JUNE13 boundaries personally!

I put something like "an interview method used to enhance memory recall, there are four key features context restatement, recall in reverse order, recall everything and recall from a changed perspective" - looking at the actual definition I wasn't far off, that should get me the full marks...

49/72 was june 2013 i reckon it could be lower
53/72 was an A in 2012

yeah i put the names of the stages but didnt explain them tbh

what were the june12 boundaries like?

They didn't need explaining cause it was only 2 marks :-)

hey there how did you find the exam? i thought it was okay tbh. i just wanted to ask, you know for strength for working model i wrote it doesn't depend on rehearsing to remember things and for multi-store model i wrote it could be easily tested to see if it applies to human behaviour, is that right? what did you write for them?

well I'm pleased I am not the only one who didn't enjoy that exam. Our school had a fire beforehand so none of our class had the chance to read through our notes just before and we had to be relocated to another school - talk about being stressed out!

Does anyone know what this would average out as if I got:
a, b, d, c in the units.

A-PSYA1
B-PSYA2
D-PSYA3
C-PSYA4

Overall grade-?

A-80 UMS
B-70 UMS
D-50 UMS
C-60 UMS

Total - 260 UMS (C)

Unit 3 only requires 11/24 on each question for a C.. If you revise I'm sure you'll do well

Thank you

What PSYA3 topics are you studying? There's a site called Loopa which is good for essays etc :-)

I thought it was quite difficult on reflection. When I came out I felt quite confident but the more I think about it, the more things I'm thinking of what I could've improved on.

Hated the research methods, was more like A2 style questions than AS. I was happy with memory (LOVED the 8 marker on EWT and evaluation of cognitive interview) and majority of attachement (I thought the learning theory question was worded very weirdly though!), wasn't a fan of the 12 marker. Even though I had prepared for institutionalisation, my essay didn't read very well when I read it back over so I'm not sure. Hopefully got at least 8 marks.
I got an E last year (even though I thought I had done really well- School refused to remark it cos I was too many UMS off a D, even though I was actually disputing the whole grade and thought I should've got a C)
Been getting A's on mocks, even on some of the harder papers with lower boundaries (just in sometimes though!) so I hope I get an A or a very high B as I need a B overall this year to get into uni.

Agreed with the research methods! and the learning theory question... It was poorly worded!

Reckon the boundaries for this exam will be something like:
A-48
B-44
C-40
D-36
E-32
Obviously depends how everyone else did but just a guess going on the questions asked!
