WatchPage 1 of 1

Skip to page:
As with Paper 1 and 2, we can work on an unofficial mark scheme for Paper 3. Unlike the other papers, there are options for topics so students will be doing different ones.
There will therefore be three unofficial mark schemes to cover all the topics. Only the first will cover Issues and Debates (which everyone does) and the other topics will be split across the mark schemes. They are as follows:
Mark Scheme 1 - Issues and Debates | Gender | Schizophrenia | Forensic Psychology
Link - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing
Mark Scheme 2 - Relationships | Eating Behaviour | Aggression
Link - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing
Mark Scheme 3 - Cognition and Development | Stress | Addiction
Link - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing
I apologize if this is confusing or your topics aren't all on one mark scheme but the options make it complicated. Whichever topics you do, please contribute to the relevant mark scheme.

Are grade boundaries different for individual sections i.e. Gender and forensics because the gender 16 marker had so many people talking about the wrong topic so surely it should have lower grade boundaries?

Same! I'm so pissed, they didn't make it clear. And I wrote about hard and soft Determinism for the ideas and approaches one, that's 32 marks lost. 😭😭

No I'm pretty sure that the grade boundaries are the same no matter the option. I know it's so frustrating, it's the same for most subjects, like History or English.

The same can't be said for English

For the 16 mark question about determinism. I talked about the soft, hard and environmental determinism. Would that also be okay?

Would writting about biological explanations for atypical gender developmemt (such as genes and the bstc) score credit on the 16 marker. It is still after all "psychological research into atypical gender developmemt" and surely if they wanted only social psychological explanations, as described in this unofficial mark scheme, they would have specified them as that, rather than "psychological research".

Does anyone know what % you need for an A grade according to last years grade boundaries? Also do you reckon it will be higher or lower this year compared to last years grade boundaries?
