AQA A2 Psychology PSYA3/PSYA4 Revision Thread 2016

Original post by phantomspecialist

I would say go with 4-6, depending on how quickly you can write. Then again your safest bet is to email and ask your teacher tbh.

yeah i'm self taught so i cant do that.... 4-6 sounds like A LOT for a 10 mark question?! i mean someone just said i'd be alright learning one for each?

This is definitely not needed you dont even need 4-6 for a 24 marker.... 1-2 studies would be more than enough as the rest will be eval points

Yeah I think so.

Well I did a past paper (can't remember which year) and it asked how would this person increase internal validity? But I'm not sure
I suggest just knowing it just incase
Maybe someone who's more clued up than me could help :frown:

Guys what actually are type 1 and type 2 errors? :frown:

I know type 1 is false positive (reject null hypothesis when actually true)
And type 2 is false negative (accept null when it was false) ?

Hey all, is it true they can give you 0 for the exam without you knowing just because they suspect cheating for example? I had some doodles and reminders on my hand, on my palm as well, and I am worried sick that the invigilator thought I was cheating

I've just looked at past essays I've done and in them I used 3-4 studies, so again it depends on the question and if and/or how much you're going to evaluate the study. But I guess you could get away with using 2

Evaluating points for the study, such as methodological criticisms, or as in IDA?
