What do you guys think?

Personally, however nerdy this sounds, this is soooooooooo good. I would have loved something like this.

MC - 65 q's - 65 marks
SA - 18 q's - 60 marks            (note, 99% confident it doesn't have to be 18 q's, depends on your exam)
ER - 4 q's - 15 marks

Hmmm - 65 multiple choice? I'm sorry ssNake, but multi choice is just not my cup of tea haha  :P

Short answer sounds fair.

15 mk for extended response...what could it be this time?? Probably research methods - here's to betting 11 months before lol  ;D

If I read it correctly, Section C must be a research scenario.

Are you doing the new SD or have you done Psychology this year?

oh good luck!

if it helps, you can lose ~25 marks and still get 45+

I'm sure you did very well :)

I think I went okay - nothing superb..but time will tell  :)

45+ sounds great, but at the same time, I hope I didn't lose too many marks. Looking back, I think I dropped a fair few, but it's probably just the nerves  :-\
