Hate to counter argue but nominal is to do with independent groups... All inferential tests are independent groups except wilcoxon

Independent - Mann Whitney
Repeated - Wilcoxon
Correlation - Spearman's rho
Nominal - Chi Squared

Guys for research methods, there was a question asking how you'd assess the internal something of the questionnaire from the study they gave you, did they ask about how you'd assess internal reliability or validity? I think I misread the q and thought it was internal reliability because I wrote about the split-half method!!

I left like 4/5 lines between each section, does anyone know if this will be okay, does the whole booklet get scanned?

Really don't feel that I've done enough to get the A*. Lol. This exam was a mess for me :frown:

and now I have to pull myself together for chemistry f324 later on today. Medical school is overrated right? :frown:

For now just keep a positive mindset to keep yourself going. You can do this!!!

Damn, dont worry too much only a few marks, do you know about the fact that for depression it said outline and evaluate not outline and evaluate research and i did alot of a01 and a02 but only one study will this cap my mark or can i still get good marks for the essay?

lol thats wrong. you lost one mark. dont fret as long as you explained each one you would be fine. if you defined internal reliabilty you lost 2 marks. as long as it was correct for internal validity thats ok

For validity the testing was face validity/content validity/ concurrent validity right?

I barely looked at psychological explaations as it came up last year did one very vague study with lots of eval and fairly good A01 can i still get top marks if i havent included much research if any? As it was outline and evaluate not outline and evaluate RESEARCH? So will i be fine

yeah you can! in my mock i only did ao1 and then very brief IDA type research and still got a B. my teachers an examiner as well and apparently is a rly good marker

For depression did anyone just write about one explanation, because it said "one or more"? I just wrote in depth about Beck's cognitive model including the cognitive triad, negative silent assumptions and faulty information processing. I didn't write anything about the psychodynamic theory because I didn't have time and I thought well it says you can write about only one so I'll just write about one explanation. Will I get partial performance for only writing about one? Concerned as many people I spoke to wrote about Beck's cognitive model and a bit about the psychodynamic theory!

Man the psychological explanations question was a middle finger to us

Thank god I read over that before I left, if it had been treatments it would have been all over

Thankfully media & research methods was pretty easy

I didn't even read over it :frown:

Had to literally remember things from AS for that ugh, but wrote about Beck's Cognitive Triad and mentioned a little Freud in the end (by little I mean one sentence)
