i just realised that the last question on if the test was significant or not was significant, i thought a two tailed test was used if it was a directional hypothesis. actually gonna cry!!

Statistical test threw me off, the 16 markers were alright, but couldve gone with at least 10 more minutes to perfect my evaluations. Overall i think aqa were quite generous because they actually stuck to the advanced info

Feel like everyone loved the attachment 16 marker but me, my answer was all over the place tryna link it to what it tells us about human attachment. Other than that I think it was okay 😭

Literally, i didn’t apply it to human attachment other then saying it couldn’t be applied to humans due to evolutionary discontinuity. So like feel I’m gonna be capped

the paper as a whole was generally pretty good, don't want to get my hopes up too high though! :smile:

I did run out of time on the last 8 marker and the attachment 16 marker wasn't my favourite but I still answered it so that's an achievement I guess. Nervous for paper 2 tho if I'm honest

I wanna say it went really well. especially attachment, because I didn't revise anything after Bowlby's monotropic theory and I was scared some of those topics would come up but they didn't so overall pretty good. Did you have time to finish everything?

Many people in my school didn't like that question either, people got confused between two tailed and one tailed. And yes I was scared they were gonna make the paper harder as they narrowed down the spec but it was decent. I was also glad there were 3 16 markers - I can't deal with little questions I'd rather just do a brain dump on one topic. How r u feeling about paper 2?

sameee I had to think about that because I literally just revised the studies as it is. I linked it back to how Bowlby's monotropic theory was based on Lorenz's imprinting idea and Harlow I just put it has real world applications. Idk how right that is tho. Overall my attachment Essay would be the weakest cz I was running out of time. Ready for paper 2?

i was so glad i actually got that right because before i would always get the answer wrong .. BUT i did write "numerical" for the purpose of the pearsons rho when i shouldve wrote "nominal" i think..

yess same last 8 marker I only managed to the AO1 in detail so hopefully I'll get 3 marks at least. Attachment threw me off too cz i think many of us just revised the studies as it is. But as long every question is answered I think we'll be okay. and paper 2 TRUST ME RESEARCH METHODS IS THE BANE OF MY LIFE
