I am pretty confident about psych in general but can't understand the debates they just won't go in my head, anyone got any idea how to answer that 24 mark question in paper 1?
Hey, just to let you know, I've made this the official thread for this exam paper :smile: Best of luck!

My Teacher said you can predict the debate questions- it'll always be 1 out of the 5 s she said we should memorise and write an exemplar answer and just keep doing it and hopefully the majority sticks in our head.
Can anyone predict the debate question?😭

i compared all the past papers from the last 7 years and eyewitness testimonies came up 3 times, in my opinion i dont think it's going to come up again because it came up in 2022,neuroscience has a really high chance of coming up because it last came up in 2017 but i wouldn't risk just memorising one
how do people feel about applying assumptions to a behaviour? my teachers barely taught us it, one of my psychology teachers left half way through the year too so i’ve missed out on so much.
also how do people feel about the other components?

Hey guys, for component 1 what are your predictions for the classical evidences and therapies for 19th may. last year they had bowlby and watson came up, so do you think it would be too risky not to go over them? for example, describe methodology and procedure of bowlby came up last year so it would be highly unlikely for it to come up this year?

i agree with u its likely to be neuroscience. also what do you think about the controversies then? what are ur predictions on that?

the positive approach didn’t come up at all last year so i reckon there will be a question on that but not sure which part, could be any of it.

i would go over the studies that came up last year cause they’re so unpredictable sometimes but maybe focus more on the other studies

ohh i see thanks. i guess going over the studies that came up last year but they may ask a different part of it, like evaluation of bowlby.

can you be more specific about what classical evidence will come up please. it can’t be bowlby because that came up two times in two years.

Any ideas for social influence and psychopathology?

this chat is for eduqas but i don’t think that’s part of the spec
is classical evidence the same as alternative evidence eg: Bowlby raine etc

honestly paper 3 is so random because ethics and culture bias controversy came up in 2021 AND 2022 (my teacher said students last year tried predicting the controversy and didn't revise those two controversies cos it came up in 2021 and barely passed the paper because of it) , it's really hard to say, just memorise them all for that one to be honest but for me I'm not memorising at least one of them cos at least I'll have the other choice to answer which I will revise. I think science, culture or animals will come up.

i feel like ethics and culture are less likely to come up tho because of that, i was thinking more animals, science and sexism will come up

Yeah it’s my weakest area just because we weren’t taught it until last minute, I think I’ll just have to make it up when I’m comes up haha
