owwwww ok thanks. my teacher is really good at predicting whats coming up so we're all tempted to learn the 3 most likely from each topic but guess not!!

I'm memorising 9 essays overall because those are likely to come up for psya3, the rest i'm just gonna make notes, just to be on the safe side!

Out of interest which do you predict will come up?

Eating behaviour: Explanations for success/failure of dieting, neural mechanisms and evolutionary explanations.

Relationships: Breakdown, paternal investment and sexual selection.

Aggression: Social learning theory, deindividuation, institutional aggression and neural and hormonal mechanisms.

Those are the ones that weren't in jan/june 2013 but yeah still have to consider the ones that did come up

Ahh right - I do the same topics and I'd love it if those came up

How many studies are people remembering for each section, particularly in Unit 3?

Is anybody doing intelligence? Do you know if we can be asked a 24 mark question on the role of classical or operant conditioning?

Eating behaviour: Explanations for success/failure of dieting, neural mechanisms and evolutionary explanations.

Relationships: Breakdown, paternal investment and sexual selection.

Aggression: Social learning theory, deindividuation, institutional aggression and neural and hormonal mechanisms.

Guys, roughly, how lone should each 24 marker essay be?
is 500 words enough?

they suggest 600 but tbh mine are always two and a half pages , and i get 22/24 on average

mine are like double that , but i do write quickly and my plans are nothing more than a couple of names , three minutes absolute max

the eating behaviours and aggression ones were the same for me too!! thats what my teacher predicted except she guessed diagnosis of anorexia as one potentially. also the method you have for revising was what I was going to do! the 3 most likely in each topic off by heart then the rest mainly through bullet points
