AS Psychology- Doubts, Tips, Guesses and Leaks

[SamiaSaad]

I heard the grade threshold is 49 for grade A?

 

[SamiaSaad]

For ceiling effects in part one i wrote that the effect is when questions are very easy ( this was a guess as i had no idea about it) and in second part it was that it helps in detecting individual differences (for this i'm 99% sure).

Your answer is correct. This question had been a problem for a lot of people :/

I heard the grade threshold is 49 for grade A?

I checked it for the last year, it was around 54-55 in them. So, lets see it would be somewhere in range of 50's and keeping the paper's difficulty, i feel it would be 54 and no more maybe.

You are right, many questions were confusing this time, i doubt three or four like the Zimbrdo one and BDD one and also that Thickpen one, it's first part was quite confusing.

 

[SamiaSaad]

^i don't remember the Thigpen one. What was it about?

 

[SamiaSaad]

Need tips on how to write and evaluate alternative studies please!

It was something about that how can it be said that Eve was not schizoid.

Oh yes. I wrote she had blackouts and about the letter she wrote

Great, i too wrote that she was not schizoid as she had black outs and those were not the symptoms of schizoid behaviour.

Hey guys!
How was the Paper 22 of psychology?
What do you expect to be the GT?

Its a matter of fact of understand the bottom line of what the study actually means, its possible only by intensive reading and notes making.
Concerning the curriculum we have to be familiar with the research methodology and throw in as many
of those terminologies related to research, you have to be able to define them to along with a very clear understanding.
They only look into the fact that as to how far can you relate the case study with the research methodology.
So it is essential to have a very clear understanding about the research methodology.
Knowing the statistical datas by heart another key point. If you really can't remember those number then at least
trying understanding what they mean so that you can explain them instead of clearly stating the numbers.
Many students think that solving a bunch of past papers would help, I say no until you have understood what you have learnt.
Psychology is a very vast subject and we can never forsake the research methodology part, it plays a role in the entire AS and
A level course.
I can suggest referring to this revision guide by David Clark published by Hodder Education and the ISBN number is
978-0340867044, its. specifically based on the CIE requirements. Its one of the useful revision guides clearly indicating
the points we need to look into

All the best!
