aqa alevel psychology help!!

in the topic of biopsychology, i was trying to revise the fight or flight response and had a few conflicting content between the content in the fifth edition of the cat book and the second edition of the pink hair girl textbook. i have been consistently revising with the pink hair girl textbook, but the other book tells me i have to memorise the hpa axis and whatso for the fight or flight response?? so should i just learn the hpa axis, i’m so confused…

hi i use the second edition pink haired girl book. as long as the spec doesnt say anything about a hpa axis i think u should be fine. i havent seen any past questions on it. alot of people use the pink haired book so idk it would be weird for a big part to be missing.

thank you so much!! i feel the cat textbook is so goofy for no reason, ill check the spec just in case too.. i tried to find exam qs on pmt and most of them dont specifically mention the hpa axis, acute stressor etc so that’s a relief !!

The HPA axis doesn't appear in the current specification, only the role of adrenaline in relation to the fight or flight response. So, I wouldn't worry about it too much!

haha yeah ive never used that textbook before u worried me there haha. how u feeling for the papers coming up?

honestly i’m slightly scared about the grade boundaries, im just praying it goes down at least a bit 😢 content wise i feel like im at a good pace !! how about you, is revision treating you well??

you’re an absolute saviour !! it was really bugging me, that cat book is always so extra with everything + my pea brain is already too small for all this content.. thank you so much !!

the papers seem so close together man i wanna dieeeeeeee. i hope the grade boundaries go down too. omg its too much content i was literally just going through the approaches i do not get the comparisons. i hate linking to issues and debates oml

omg yes, i really hate comparisons because im too brain dead for it.. but its okay we got this fella! i just can’t believe 70 out of like 96 was a whole a* last year but in years before it was a whole 10 to 15 marks below.. it’s totally unfair, but it’s okay gotta just deal with it ☹️

omg i didnt know it was that low before. yes we got this dude. whats ur strongest topics? maybe we can help eachother out im pretty decent at memory but im **** at research methods and psychopathology sometimes is iffy especially the biological explainations

i’m actually revisiting memory today + it’s alright, it’s just the ao3 points are so plain so i’m going try find some counter arguments.. but i’d love that!! tbh i really needed a study bud for psych (shoulda got one earlier..) but my classmates are like the type to say they don’t study as much when they get a*’s… i actually really like research methods, especially the math part. i’m fine with social influence, but i kinda of struggle with attachment especially bowlby’s theories - most likely forgotten them 😞

bowlbys theories are so tapped lmfao

fr i actually feel like he’s just repeating the same stuff again and again, what a waffler… but meh i’m just gonna push through, like i’m definitely really behind with my ao3 but it’s okay 😓
