AQA A2 Psychology PSYA3/PSYA4 Revision Thread 2016

Original post by m1gg1n

So am i do you know if we learn 12 markers for each possible question or 24? In loopa theres 11 essays to learn but hes put enough content for 24 marks ?

For media there is normally 3/4 questions they'll go something like:
Q1 (10 marks) it'll normally be on a model (hovland or ELM) or persuasion
Q2 4 marks A01 + 6 marks A02
Q3 4 marks A01

I've never seen a question bigger than 10 marks..

How is everyone revising for the approaches to gambling/smoking (addicition)

Like say the cognitive approach to gambling, I learned the 3 stages

are you guys learning A02 points specific to each one e.g. Initiation, Maintenance, If i did this it would take forever I'd have to learn like 27 A02 points in total?

Discuss one or more explanations of media influence on pro-social behaviour (4+6 marks)

Model answer here if anyone wants it... this topic is quiet easy!

That is exactly what I am struggling to decide!! I just started revision for it today and finished learning the cognitive of both gambling and addiction but it's not even sticking in oroperly so I don't know how I am supposed to swarm 18 of those with AO1 and AO2.

I honestly just feeling like skipping the whole of addiction and focusing on Sz and Research methods.

When did you start revision for paper 4 and how much have you prepared so far?? I'm beginning to think my changes of getting C is very little now.. T_T.

For media how many ao1 points is everyone learning? Four marks because of the 4+6 markers or more because of the implementation essays. Also if you are learning more than 4 ao1 marks how many are you learning and in a 10 mark implementation how many marks count for implementation and how many count from ao1 marks

Clinical characteristics of schizophrenia can only come up as a 4 marker right? I mean if the section is split
