apparently carlsson hasn’t show up as an 8 or 20 marker. the tt user @miss.edexcelpsychology managed to be pretty accurate with her predictions for paper 1 and she did upload paper 2 predictions as well

This is what she said:
Carlsson- high risk
Methodologies that could come up as 8 markers- cross sectional studies, grounded theory, content analysis
She says that there has been very little that hasn’t been assessed but they could make an 8 marker a 20 marker/ vice versa
In 2024 no schizophrenia came up

Are you sure no schizophrenia came up isn’t any kind of impossible? I think my teacher said it was OCD/the optional module that didn’t come up last year

No schizophrenia I did it as a mock and there’s none at all. The 8 markers were on depression/optional module in clinical

Fr a WASTE OF TIME. I really hope it focuses purely on schizophrenia this year now to make up for it because they can’t pull something like that again

KEY QUESTION WILL COME UP!! They’re always in either Paper 1 or Paper 2!!

There might also be some biological stuff in there since Paper 1 didn’t cover much. And EVALUATION OF CLASSIC OR CONTEMPORARY STUDY (8 marker) will probably come up too since there was only short answers questions in Paper 1. 😊

I’m not sure if it could be a twenty marker (I myself haven’t practiced doing one) but there’s only ever been one 8-mark question for Criminal psych (my school’s chosen unit) and one 16-mark for clinical. I’m hoping edexcel will continue to be nice and give us an 8 mark otherwise i’m lowkey done for 😻
