AQA B PSYB2 7th June 2011

Original post by MyselfEtAl

hell no, im doing ethical/methodological issues with milgram/asch. it's torrturreee.

I found that to be some of the easier stuff to learn, weird! If you want to discuss it over PM feel free. :smile:

I don't know what was on the 2010 June paper (going to do that later today) but I'm sort of expecting to get something on Social Facilitation, as that hasn't seemed to come up for a while. Which sucks, because that's the area of Social Influence I know the least well.

Possibly comparing two theories of forgetting for the Cognitive section, and hopefully something on phobias for the anxiety disorders section.

I have IT on the same day, and i'm carrying on with that into A2 but I'm dropping Psychology, so most of my effort is going into IT. Trying to get as much UCAS from this exam, I failed PSYB1 as well..

That sucks. Good luck anyway, you might surprise yourself. I sort of know how you feel because I've just had Physics, so exams two days running.

Thanks, and I hope I do surprise myself haha. But going into A2 with 4 subjects would be way too much for me anyway. Gonna have to cram later on after my IT revision and in the hour and a half gap between my IT and Psych exams :P

It's also my last exam, good luck to you too! :smile:

As for the 10 markers, I'm reckoning Social Facilitation for the first one (which I won't be happy about). The second one (for Remembering and Forgetting) might be something to do with discussing a certain memory model. The third one (for Anxiety Disorders) could be to do with comparing two treatments. This is what I'm going on after looking at past exam papers. These things haven't come up recently (unless they came up in Jaunary 2011, I don't have that paper).

had physics today totally Horid paper! :/ & nicely assumed - I did it in January and got a C .. But my teacher wants me to do it again! Yeah conformity came up so you could he right - memory they asked to explanations of forgetting which I messed up on so most likely a model! Revise them properly! & two treatments came up in January ... Could come again - but most likely a phobia/OCD will be discussed.!!

Good luck to you to .. Can chill once tomorrows over' :]

Damn... I was hoping for conformity (mind you, we could get obedience which would be great for me). I don't want a question on memory models. They bore me to death. Explanations of forgetting are much more interesting.

I'm hoping if not treatments it'll be phobias. As I'm someone who suffers from a phobia, it's right up my street. xD

And agree about the Physics, I did NOT enjoy that paper. :P

Haha I know what you mean - I prefer theories of forgetting but at that time was told about models so revised hard & then just panicked lol !!
Yeah phobias are alot more interestig and if it's OCD they may ask u two coz there's not many studies ..
Which exam board did u do for physics! I do OCR b - total nightmare!
