Hey! I have a few questions:
How early did you start actual exam prep?
What process did you go through when correcting your responses in practice questions (to perfect your answers)?
If you could change anything about the way you studied for psych, what would it be?
If you had to give one piece of advice/tip for getting 45+ in psych, what would it be?
Did you revise all the content you had learnt regularly?
Hello,
Yes I've got a few questions...
1. If there are content on the study design, let's say we don't understand, how would you go about revising for the content?
2. If you got a low mark on psych or a lower mark than expected how would you motivate yourself to keep going?
3. Finally how would you word your answers to get full marks in questions?
What is the best way to study and what scores are needed on SACS to reach a 40 Study Score Please :D
Hey!
I have a few questions for you;
What's the best way do you think to learn and retain information?
What's the best way to study?
When do you start your actual exam preparation for psychology?
Did handwritten or typed notes work best for you?
Did you have a psychology tutor? If so, do you think it was worth it?
Best strategies leading up to the exam?
How should we approach the end of year exam? Any tips?
Did you go to any psychology lectures? If so, which ones are the most worth it to attend?
No, I didn't have a Psych tutor, or any tutor at all during Year 12. If you are looking for a tutor, I hear there's a great one that works for ATAR Notes ;)
Hey Howey,
I have a few questions:
How do I learn to answer questions on the exam to ensure I get full marks?
How do I answer the 10 mark question in the research methods section?
This year there is a new study design for psychology, this means I have no resources to practice on! Do you recommend any sites to visit or books to purchase that can help me?
HIII TIM !!
Here are my questions:
1.My teacher had informed us earlier this year that 'Section C' (The research methods part) of the End of Year examination had been taken out and instead replaced with a 'Ten-mark' question that requires us to apply our learning. Is this correct ? And if so, could you please give some advice on how we should go about answering a question worth 10marks (I know this is difficult considering we don't know what the ten mark question is).
2.What advice would you give regarding exam preparation ? What do you specifically do to prepare ?
3.How do you keep yourself motivated during rough times in Year 12 ?
4.I understand that information stored in L.T.M must be retrieved by the S.T.M. So does that mean that that information (formally from the L.T.M) gets lost after being retrieved into the S.T.M and used ? Or does that information-after being used-simply flows back into the L.T.M ?
Hey! :)
Here are my questions
1. When making notes, how did you sort through the information that was relevant and info that isn't needed? I find when making my notes I put in a lot of extra info that I may not need but I'm scared to take it out just in case it pops up somewhere
2. As psych is a content heavy subject, how did you go about learning all the info? In particular, all the definitions and info where specific terminology has to be used
3. I'd love to try and get a 45+ in psych. Any tips on trying to do this?
Is it effective to work through chapter questions or should we only focus on practice exam questions (for topics in previous study designs)?
Hi Howey. Shouldn't your name be spelled howie? Or are we supposhed to call you howeigh?
More questions:
What rank do you have be to get above 45 for psych?
Did you buy any extra resources for psych other than the textbook that helped you?
When did you start preparing for an upcoming SAC?
Did you pre-learn the course?
For you answers, did you write in dot points or sentences?
Did you do 1/2 along with a 3/4 sequence?
Would you recommend doing 3/4 without 1/2? I find psychology very interesting and I don't know whether or not to skip the 1/2 component. Please help!
How would I catch up with the "assumed knowledge" if I didn't do 1/2?
Do you think two 3/4s (Lit and Psych) in year 11 will be manageable and rewarding, given that I try my best?
I've heard a lot about research methods being carried over into 3/4, but I don't know what it is. Could you please explain it or direct me to any sites?
Do you think psychology is a time consuming subject compared to others?
Could you list the most important things you did that helped you to succeed in psychology?
Hey I would just like to know how to make it easier to pick out important information from long examples in exams and write a short but correct answer.
Hey,
How did you approach the end of year exam? Did you do the sections in order?
How did you allocate time to the different sections on the exam and how long do you suggest we spend on each one?
What are your study tips? How did you retain information throughout the year?
How did you revise for each chapter?
Hi and thank you for offering this free Q&A!
Firstly, how would you suggest to manage studying consistently throughout the year? Our teacher has recommended revising the content we've learned regularly, but how do you suggest we manage this with such a big workload? And what sorts of things do you suggest doing to revise this work?
Also, how do you tackle the exam at the end of the year? Would you suggest doing it in order, and how much time should you be spending per mark?
With the 10 mark question that is on the exam and is new to the study design, how do you suggest we handle this? Where could we get practice for these questions?
How would you suggest revising for research methods? Do you suggest maybe doing a concept map to link terms together? And how should we prepare for the poster ERA?
Any other tips on managing and prioritising the workload during year 12, as well as dealing with multiple sacs in a week would be useful also!! In particular, how do you suggest we timetable our September school holidays to effectively revise for each subject?
Hi Howey :)
How would you go about operationalising Independant Variables such as Age and Nationality?
Hey Howey :),
How would you justify if a particular event or situation was a major stressor or not? Eg. Running out of car fuel on your way to your Psychology exam.
Thanks buddy ;D
Hello! I was just wondering what exactly we need to do with research methods and how to practice them? Was research methods the section C of the exam in the past? (However I think the current study design has an exam with only sections A and B but B includes a 10 mark question). Will research methods also appear in MCQ part of the exam? I have a rough idea of what research methods are but was wondering when and how we would use things like inter-rater reliability or parallel form reliability etc. And how I can practice using research methods, should I start doing section C from old VCAA papers?
Was also wondering if you have any idea what a practical report SAC is as I'm having one this term, would this be dependent on my school?
Thank you so much for your time :)
What's the difference between approach/adaptive and avoidance strategies and problem focused and emotion focused coping strategies? And to what extend can they overlap?
Hi Tim, where can I find a copy of the slides you presented at the ATAR Notes psychology lecture yesterday?
Hey everyone!!!
I just wanted to ask if anyone has finished the AOS on research methods(my school is reluctant to start it for some reason- but I'd like to get ahead). What SAC did you have to complete on this, or more specifically, what is the poster you have to complete about??
