I really hope the 12 mark is on stress or abnormality...cos i think the illness and workplace stuff is quite straight forward..as are the models of abnormality..erghh and unit 3 is a nightmare..what topics are u doing in that?

i'm doing aggression, relationships and biological and sleep
Today I shall start my revision for said exam. Did the PSYA1 retake yesterday which went fairly swimmingly. :smile:

So to conclude, it is a 72 mark paper, split into 3 sections of 24?

The 3 sections are:

Stress
Social Influence
Abnormality?

Right, well I know Social the best, Stress a little, and very little on Abnormality.

Hmm. Any ideas on what the questions will be on???

my psych teacher reckons the 12 mark one will be on abnormality (behavioural or cognitive) 'cause apparently the others have been 8/12 mark ones in recent years

thats rue i ahd to serach from so many psychology books to find studies that support my point and would sound coherent in an essays structure or answer format.
