AQA A2 Psychology PSYA3/PSYA4 Revision Thread 2016

Thank you! Also does anybody know if real world applications count as IDA points?

Sorry for the double post but would anybody mind marking my aggression essay?

I don't think my teachers marking is very correct as she would most often mark my work as 100% however at AS I only got a low B and low A, I think she marks my work as if it is a lot better than it actually is! I'd really appreciate it just so I know what level I'm at currently!

Also how strictly do you keep to the 600 word guideline with a 8+16 mark question?

I don't stick to the guideline at all, no one in my class has gotten a high grade by sticking to it and my teacher is an examiner

Oh my gosh, my teacher tells us it's one of the most important thing to not go over 600 words! How many words do you write on average? Now I'm really worried for this exam!

Just under 1000 normally... That way I can explain everything thoroughly and still get some decent amount of evaluation! I'm surprised by that.

That makes more sense! I always find I have to cut out important points to get it down to 600 words. Thanks so much for all your help!!

Hi I'm so stuck on the inferential tests in research methods! We was told you don't need to know how to do them just when to use them but do you need to know how to calculate the observed and critical values? If you do how do you do that? Pls help

I have model answers to which i can compare your work with, if you want me to mark it id be happy to!

How many studies should you include in a single psya3 essay?

For genetic factors in aggression is anybody writing about the XXY chromosome?

No you don't need to know how to calculate anything, you just need to know whether there is a significant difference or not by looking at the critical and calculated values

Okay thanks! Do they give you the values or do you have to calculate them yourselves??

They'll give you the values

Thanks when you say they give you the values do you mean they'll literally say this is the observed and this is the critical or do they give you tables of results and you have to work them out from that?
