AQA GCSE Psychology Paper 1 8182/1 - 24 May 2019 [Exam Discussion]

I hope the grade boundaries will be low too. They should be as it is the first year. I know I have got at least 1 mark. I really want to get a 4 in this subject. I believe that 50 marks on each paper is needed for that so I hope I got at least that.

What question did you get up to?

Tbh, Iam not sure, I know I completed the frequency table question, not sure what number that was?! As time was running out I answered a few more short questions after that and started to draw my graph but didn't complete it. Iam hoping I have done enough

I think that was question 19.1 as I also remember doing and completing that question. I hope I have done enough to get a grade 4 as that is what I want in this subject.

How many questions was there in total? Oh dear! I am worried now. Iam sure you will get a 4. At least now we know what to expect on paper 2! Good luck.

Honestly this was me to, what did you draw for the frequency table? And I already know I got the 1 markers wrong...

I think I did okay in Psychology Paper 1 exam. I know I got at least one mark. I didn’t finish the paper as you may already know but I remember I got up to question 19.2 and I lost 19 marks out of a possible 100 so I think it is possible for me to pass but it does still depend on how Paper 2 goes.

For question 1 I put semantic and I am certain that is correct. For the second Samir question I put that he was used to driving on left hand side of the road at home and that is now old information which is making him forget that In Spain they drive on the right hand side of the road. In the definition of learning styles I said that learning styles are different ways people learn. For the frequency table I drew a table with two columns and that is all I can remember for that question. You will need 50 marks on each paper to pass according to my teacher.
U 0-24 marks
1 25-49 marks
2 50-74 marks
3 75-99 marks
4 100-119 marks
5 120-139 marks
6 140.-159 marks
7 160-179 marks
8 180-189 marks
9 190-200 marks

At the beginning of the exam, I felt that I had revised enough the day before and I should be okay in this exam. I think it was good that I had it in the week where I had the smallest number of exams.

I hope to get a 4 in Psychology. I believe this is still possible for me.

You will need 50% of the marks to get a 4. You will need 70% to get a 6 and 95% to get a 9. You will need 50 marks on each paper at least to get a 4.

I would say that is still achievable for me as long as I do well in Paper 2 as well. In fact, it might be more likely if I finish Paper 2.

Thanks and Best wishes From Michael.

I left out the willingham question there's no way I'm gonna get a grade 9 now....I've let down my psychology teacher cos she had so much faith in me cos I got the highest in my year for mock but I flopped the real thing.... I always told myself that psychology was so easy so I barely revised but tbh the whole paper was fine for me except that willingham question cos it was the only bit I didn't revise... What do u think the grade boundaries r gonna be?

Is there a paper 2 one? If not, how’d everyone find it,, i definetly didnt revise enough and so I found it hardd

i had the exact same situation, i revised everything else but got willingham's theory mixed up with another learning theory. literally was the only thing i didnt revise. my teacher also is expecting me to get a high grade cuz i got the highest in my mocks.all i will say is dont worry about ur teacher's expectations. we are unfortuantely caught in a crappy education system that relies entirely on regurgitating tons of info. my teacher said (jokingly) if i dont get an 8 he'll disown me or something like that, which im pretty sure i wont now. u may be disappointed for a bit but honestly dont worry too much, dont do what i did and lie awake thinking about it. it's not worth the stress or self-loathing. cmon, us athenas will ace the next test and get a rly good grade! good luck
