Psychology help

Hiiii so I just wondering if anyone has any advice for me on answering specific marker questions?

I often have very bad time management during my exams as well as confusion on how much to write in exams and never have enough time to write everything I want to or sometimes to answer questions since I've focused my time on perhaps a 6 or 8 marker.

I think the number of marks the question is worth will tell you what you need to write, such as whether you need to add an evaluation or discuss how the experiment was conducted etc but I am really not sure and do not want to spend all my time on a 8 marker or something because i thought i needed to evaluate it when I didnt. Sorry if this sounded confusing but pls help!! Thank you :biggrin:

is this a-level psychology? if so you wanna spend around 1.25 minutes per mark
e.g. for an 8 marker you'd spend 10 minutes, for 16 marker you'd spend 20 minutes
you're right in that the no. marks tells you how much you need to write but the wording of the question will tell you what you need to write (e.g. is it just describe, is it discuss (describe and evaluate) etc)
