Meh paper. Hate positive approach but everything else was ok. Do you remember if the loftus and palmer methodology and procedures question was describe or evaluate?

it was evaluate

i thought it was really nice. i liked that there weren't any longer questions on the studies, except loftus and palmer. i did think the evaluating methodology and procedures question was mean (we've always learned the content on the assumption that they wouldn't ask us a 10-12 marker on specifically m&p or ethics), but aside from that it was good.

Ugh do you think there’s any way I could get some marks if I very accurately described the methodology and procedures itself as I misread the question, found out after and was gutted. Rest of my paper was great

the grade boundaries for the past few years have been like 54ish to get an A so they shouldn’t be that high you could litro miss out the 12 mark question and still get an A

Omg they said you’d get marks for that question? That would be so good

Neuroscience for the 20 mark question is most likely

If it’s any consolation I somehow read it as evaluate raine and all so I’ve done it wrong too

Not sure my teacher said I would if the point was relevant to loftus and palmers too but I explained them in the context of Raines so I don’t think I will
