AS OCR Psychology May 14th 2018 (Exam Discussion)

How did everyone find this exam?

what were the 12 markers on this exam?

Really hard

It was indeed

I mean every other question was easy in the past exam questions and when i did this paper today, I was utterly shattered

which question did u find the hardest?
aw don’t worry if everyone is going to flop they have to lower the grade boundaries alot so don’t stress too much

I struggled with the 12 marker and a few others. It was unbelievable. I really wanted an A, but i dont know anymore

with the 12marker if u said any of the sampling techniques for the first bullet point like opportunity,random, self-selected etc
the second was like obtain data either thru self report so questionnaire or interview or observations
and the third point you could say any control like giving same instructions, ensuring they had the same experience or even like the type of food or whatever control that could effect your variables would be fine.
If you wrote anything along these lines you will be fine I think.

Im really scared for paper 2 now! I pray its easier!!! That was a very hard paper compared to all the other questions I have done before.

Moved to Psychology study help

was very difficult hoping the grade boundaries are incredibly low

what was the question you most struggled with

it wasn’t a particular one but like most of them were like inferential statistics and like the academic reports, I waffled so much. But one question I left blank was something with significance level p<0.005

yes this was similar scenario to me too. However my mind went completely blank on how to reduce social desirability too
