ask your teachers for the papers when they come out around April May ish time. other than that. revise beck and ellis, anxiety

Hi,

I sat the paper. There were 3 16 marker on minority influence, bowlby theory of maternal deprivation and factors affecting EWT. Ik depression came up think it was an 8 marker on Ellis or beck can't remember sorry!

Erm for social influence there was an application qs on situational variables, which was 6 marks, for memory I remember there being a bit of stats.


If I remember anything else I'll drop you a message

Hope this helps!

So for schizophrenia the 16 mark was discuss one or more explanation for schizophrenia. So you can talk about biological and psychological or just 1 in depth.

There was also a 16 marker on issues an debates which was there are many explanations in psych ranging from holism to reductionism' discuss the levels of explanations in psych

I didn't do forensics 😭

This is paper 2

Approaches - SLT came up, a biological approach question that linked to the same scenario as SLT,*multiple*choice on psychodynamic, 1 marker on give 1 assumption of cognitive approach and 'outline and briefly discuss cognitive neuroscience' for 8 marks

Biopsychology -
*'outline 1 difference between endogenous pacemakers and exogenous zeitgebers give example of each' , a 6 marker on 'outline fight or flight' link it back to the scenario ' discuss research into plasticity and functional recovery'* - 16 marks,


RM - ; there was no 12 marker, just a 6 marker on outline 2 ethical issues in psychological research and describe how you could deal with it.

Asked about type ll errors

There was a 5 marker on which stats test to use there was a question which said how would you measure 2 co - variables but don't use any self-report methods

I wish my teacher put biopsychology on the mock, it’s one of my favs simply because doing bio makes it sm easier, thanks a lot tho!

It's okay don't worry about if you need any help lmk. Omgg bio don't miss it at all 😭😭 I'm doing an English degree. Oooh whens your mock? 2 of my friends did sociology I can ask what came up for you?

Yesss I get it it made sm more sense! Let me see if I can find more on attachment and psychopathology for you

Thankyou so so much honestly, you don’t know how much you have just helped me out! if you haven’t already guess I have mocks right about now and I’ve been focusing too much on biology so I haven’t been able to revise properly for psych or sociology! In my mocks I’m being assessed on psychopathology, schizophrenia, attachment, forensics and research methods which are literally the WORST topics, so I’m praying they’re just last years questions 😭😭
But you’ve just made my day, thanks so much!

Eeeeeeek! Content analysis is one scary phrase! I’ll be sure to revise the crap out of all this before next week! or I’ll resort to duas if none of this is on the mock 😭

Dua's always, never forget them! What exam board do you do for bio?

I’m aqa for everything! yes 100% dua’s above everything! I’m gonna be reciting rabbi zidni ilma every second I’m in the biology exams!

Bio gosh most of paper 1 and 3 was antibodies and immunity. One q from 25marker was on importance of membranes 😭

I’m aqa for everything! yes 100% dua’s above everything! I’m gonna be reciting rabbi zidni ilma every second I’m in the biology exams!
