Wtf- that aqa psych exam?!!!

What did u guys think about that exam? I honestly though it was really unfair throwing 3 16 markers. Wsn't expecting that and the last 16 marker was on treating CBT which i could've written so much about. there just wasn't enough time ffs
Three 16 mark questions why??????!!!!

idk but that exam really ****ed me up. it was just too much. atleast its done now though. do u think they'll lower the grade boundaries becuase it was overall quite hard u know, despote all that revision i still managed to **** up nd waffle
i found that last 16 marker a blessing cuz i revised CBT so much

Yh I think grade boundaries definitely will be quite low (well at least I hope so) because I think generally most people found it difficult

yh that attacchment 16 marker was mad u no. couldnt even put in proper evaluation cuz there was so much to write about ao1 and ao3 about 2 topics like wtf is aqa playing at. plus i think the wording of the qs were kinda dodgy jus so vague and wasnt sure if i was even writing bout the correct things.
I misread the question & only wrote a detailed 16 marker on monotropic theory & not the learning theory :frown: can I still gain marks?

yh it was literally, "Discuss this...", "discuss that"...I thought this would be the nicer of papers now im not sure what to expect from papers 2 and 3 which i dont have much time to revise for because of my other subjects :sigh:

of course you can. there's no negative marking in psych. so u dont lose marks for not writing or writing the wrong thing. but u do miss out on a couple of marks cuz u didnt talk about learning theory which was linked to the first part of the conversation in the stem remember

well depends. if u wrote only about monotropic theory well then its probably 6 marks if you didnt link it to ao2. did u link it to ao2?
id say the marks probs work a bit like this for that q: 3 marks for bowlby's theory and 3 for linking it to stem. and then 3 marks for learning theory and 3 marks for linking it to stem. then the rest of the marks were prob for ao3
