No idea, the AS paper looked pretty decent.
i think the 15 marker will either be correlation or experiments

The section C question that asked us to give conclusions about the data was weird

Was literally exactly the same as last year paper and practice paper from this year so not bad.

I was glad it was correlation as that’s what i’d mainly focused on. the only bit that i didn’t like was the nominal data questions, i just hadn’t really looked at strengths and weaknesses of these, and also i struggled to write enough for 6 marks on the conclusions of the bins question. but still i think i did reasonably well ?? maybe

what did u guys say for the question about the design of the study and how it increased generalisability?

i said if it was matched pairs it would increase generalisability as having matched pairs helps to reduce individual differences as each participant is matched with someone of similar characteristics etc

Generally found the paper okay, bloody loved that 15 marker although I know I’ve messed up on the generalisability one lol. For the graph question, how many bars did people draw? I only drew two since it asked for the overall number, but some people I know drew 4 so idk at this point.

Oh yeet I did 4. Probably incorrect but at least I'll get Mark's for labelling it correctly.

wow! that was dreadful. messed up both nominal data questions, both secondary data questions, and the design question. also really scared i accidentally wrote participants in the observation conclusions question. actually about to cry, ngl
