1. I don't really count them.
2. Do the MC like a pro and then lose interest in the SA. I'll just think of the answers and not write them, but still stress on the 'key terms' in my head and then just read over the model answers.

Totally ready/looking forward to the psych exam. It's my relaxing/de-stress exam. It's positively fun compared to the horror that awaits me in the form of the chemistry and methods and UMEP (ffuuu-) exams.
what is UMEP psych like?

First semester was pretty much unit 3/4 psych covered at an incredibly quick pace in more detail. Second semester actually reminds me of year 11 psych (social psych and personality) with some new stuff added in. I haven't been keeping up this semester because I've been focusing more on my year 12 subjects so now I'm freaking out about the exam. :| :|

And of course, there's our favourite research methods sprinkled everywhere.

As part of quantitative methods, but it's still mostly stuff I've already come across in VCE psych/methods.

Do you guys do stuff like t-tests and correlations?

I'm just curious cause I'm comparing it with my first year psych course - it does look similiar.

Yeah, we did correlations with Pearson's coefficient and t-tests (except I missed that tute). Do you use PASW (the program)?

That sounds so fun :( I wish our stupid cheap school told us UMEP existed :'(

My stupid cheap school tried to discourage me doing UMEP (and didn't let me do psych 3/4 in year 11, but it was ok to do bio even though I knew nothing about bio) and now my friend regrets not taking it because she listened to them.

My school didn't advertise it, only myself and one other student put in an application for next year due to the pamphlet the uni sent us. Good luck with your exam vexx, hopefully a 5.5 increment onto your ATAR :)
