i was just about to have a breakdown over the mark schemes and how i know i wont be able to replicate answers like that in the exam

but then i realised for an A you only need about 70% for an A, and you can drop roughly 35 marks and still get an A

so if anyone was panicking like i was
dont worry you can lose marks :smile:

Guys for the behaviourist perspective strengths and weaknesses, if you don't use supporting evidence can you still get 12/12? Because i can't find any -.- Any help of a full strength and weakness that's 12 marks would help! That's all i have to revise then i'm gonna run through the implications and changes of some section b studies

If anybody needs a bit of extra last minute help, you should check out www.holah.co.uk

It's pretty informative, and has some questions on it too.

Good luck on your exam tomorrow everyone.

Beyond worried for this exam. I know very very little.

I've not even revised physiological. I've not revised any of the core studies in detail. I know very little. And I'm so scared and worried. This is so tough.

I've never felt so unprepared for an exam in my life. I've focused on Section C. But if something else comes up I'm screwed. There is so much to know here and I feel like I know nothing.

Thanks to everyone who's helped me. :smile:

And everyone who's posted their answers on here. :smile:

I really appreciate everything. Thanks for all the help. And I wish everyone the best for their exam. :smile:

I'm thinking of answering Section C first (cause that'll be fresh in my head) then section A then section B!

This is where you should be careful, you see the third question on your document.. Try and relate your answer to HOW the physiological approach explains dreaming. for example... "The physiological approach assumes that... and this supports the idea that dreaming..." You sort of summarised a bit of D&K. You see what I mean? It didn't answer the question.

The rest of your answers are really good and they helped a lot, I wish u the very best for tomorrow! Good luck!
