AQA A2 Psychology PSYA3/PSYA4 Revision Thread 2016

Original post by Olijm

For Gender.. Role of genes/hormones never asked and neither as evolutionary explanations? So is it safe to say it will be one of those? Because cultural hasn't been on since Jun 11 when it was a 12marker, making it due, but maybe because the other two above never been asked, it'll be on them??

They've all been up..

(I know it depends on UMS buuuut) say PSYA3 you get a D and PSYA4 you get a C what could you get overall for the A2?

Heres another one say PSYA3 you get a D and PSYA4 you get a B what could you get overall for the A2?

Cheers

Generally speaking and assuming they're both middling Bs and Ds, you would get a C overall for A2. For D+C though it would be a high D or a low C overall.

Could they separate infidelity and jealousy in aggression in a question like outline and evaluate one so you have to pick one of them

Could they do the same for group displays aswell

They wouldn't do that since they're together in the spec and they're really closely linked. They can't do that for group displays either since there's nothing to separate. They can just ask for evaluation though.

No, you don't need to have a conclusion.

do we only need 15 marks in each section to get an A? Does that mean we can get 45/72 to get an A?

Literally me haha

But it's fine you don't need an intro or conclusion, but you can tie it up with an IDA point and say that the approach is not a holistic way of explaining ________ or something along those lines.

It usually floats around 15/16/17. Last year it was 17 on average to get an A*

Yep, that's what the boundary for an A was at last year. It was 44 the year before.
