PYB4 Tuesday, anyone?

OP

It's basically AQA Psychology, but speficiation B, not A. I haven't come across another person other than in my school doing it!
Our teacher taught us 4 questions on Cognitive Development, Moral development, Human Relationships and Criminal Psychology. I'll be doing the first 3 topics in my exam- Criminal Psychology is too hard!

Thanks :p:

YAY ANOTHER PYB4 PERSON. :biggrin:

Our teachers only really got round to teaching us cognitive development and criminology, had to half self teach half ask questions on exceptional development (such a long topic argh) so I won't even have a choice in the exam tomorrow ... I just hope the long answer questions aren't like, horrible.

good luck! :smile:

Woo hey there :biggrin:

I'm bricking it tbh! Ive never felt this bad before a psychology exam before. Argghhhhhh. I'm so worried about the 12 mark questions- especially if eisenberg comes up- don't have a CLUE. But that came up in the summer so I hope it's not repeated this year. I also can't face having to re learn all this rubbish to re-sit it in the summer, so yeah! Good luck to you, tell me what you thought!

i'm at the stage where i've no idea what i know and what i don't know. i look at my notes and think "oh yeahhhh" but i don't really know if i know it. *DIES*

How did it go i.f.!? I found it quite easy, but only due to luck.. the cog development 12 mark question was easy- loads to say on bruner! Same with the moral development question on Kohlberg. I found reltionships hard due to not having enough information from my teacher about the theories.
How was criminal psychology?! I heard it was evil!

aw no! i don't know bruner as well as i did vygotsky or piaget so that was a shame.
the only long question on exceptional development i properly revised was 'social and emotional consequences of being identified as gifted' which came up as the long question, word for word. :biggrin:

And criminology wasn't too bad i think. there was a first 2 mark question that everyone sort of read and was like, "wtf?" but then the 6 mark after that was easy, and the long question was okayish ...

The questions could have been a lot worse, so overall it went pretty well i think. still, you never know with pschology >.<

sprout.

I thought it was okay. But for question 2 essay on Bruner, i initially started talking about Bowlby and thought 'ahhh ****tt' (and then started to panic) but then thought 'duhhhhh' and wrote all i could.

i felt that i was really tight for time as well. towards the end my handwriting was TERRIBLE.

Yeah I would have much prefered Piaget to come up on either Moral development or Cog Development, because there are so many general criticisms of him :P Ah well. My handwriting was awful as well, my main worry coming out of the exam was that the examiners wouldn't be able to understand what i'd written!
