I regularly get 23/24 and write 2 and a half pages although my writing is small. If you are good at not waffling and getting straight to the information where the marks are like me you will be fine even writing two pages. The person who got 100ums in my class wrote around 2 and a half 3 pages in her exams as I've seen her script. It is the quality of what you write not the quantity so don't worry about comparing how much you write to other people :smile:

I've done an essay that combines both endogenous pacemakers and exogenous zeitgebers. Could they come up as two separate essays? If they could how likely is it?

Posted from TSR Mobile

The question may not explicitly ask you to discuss both of them. If the question asks you to discuss one of them, that already means you've gotta discuss both of them.

For instance, "Evaluate the role of endogenous pacemakers on circadian rhythms" will mean you've gotta talk about studies that support endogenous pacemakers being the primary regulator. OR, you've gotta use studies that show exogenous zeitgebers as the primary regulator, as an evaluation of endogenous pacemakers.

Even though both EPs and EZs work together, a discussion of either of them means you talk about how significant the other one is as well.

How do you structure your AO2s? how many paragraphs do you/the person that got 100ums normally do

For eating behaviour, is everyone learning a full essay for evolutionary explanations to anorexia/bulimia or a half essay? Like could they ask for a full 24 mark or just ask you to talk about more than one biological, in which case you could learn a full neural is they ask for one and then half for evolutionary if they say one or more or could they specify?

1) 2-3 studies
2) 2-3 developed IDA
3) Don't shoehorn IDA into the essay or leave them at the end.
4) Make each A02 paragraph flow.
5) Try to create a discussion within the essay.

Is it okay if you use one study to evaluate a theory but then evaluate the hell out of the study obviously with links back to the theory with its implications?

IDA should be at the end.... Makes for a well structured essay

Thank you!, thats slightly clearer now :smile:

Can I link IDA's to studies? for example hay et al found that people get as much pleasure from giving as they do receiving in a relationship. Can I link this to the rewards needs theory being simplistic/reductionist?
