There's something about these discussions that I can't get off of. I know it's all done and a part of me wants to stop and move on but another part wants closure

If these discussions help you process the exam then that's fine.  But if you find yourself obsessing over differences in answers and convincing yourself you've done poorly then it might be time to use a website blocker.

Just be aware of and take care of yourself :)

I knew I did bad on Section C of English compared to other analyses, but I don't really care haha Thanks for the advice if it comes to it :)

Yeah, an example which was the one where we had to link attention in observational learning to developing David's phobia??? Also heaps of "short"-answer questions about mental health. And there were two multiple-choice that stuck out from the ones I wasn't sure the answers to (the one about the autonomic system's role when that girl's blood pressure dropped from seeing the needle, and a question on that Phil dude).

There's something about these discussions that I can't get off of. I know it's all done and a part of me wants to stop and move on but another part wants closure

yeah I really wanted to feel satisfied after the exam, but I just feel kind of indifferent and unsure :/

Hi all :)

I know that it might be a bit soon, but how does everyone feel they went?

I know personally that I thought I did okay, (considering I didn't do ANY study until yesterday due to personal unavoidable circumstances). As my first Year 12 exam, it wasn't as daunting as I expected it to be. It wasn't as difficult as I expected with my lack of revision either, (that doesn't mean to say it wasn't hard, because it certainly was,  at least in my opinion). This probably sounds weird but I actually sort of enjoyed it...?

Anyway, would be cool to hear your thoughts :)

Is it just me or this exam was more time consuming than last years?

+ Anyone else find a couple of the 3 mark questions fairly vague and difficult to ascertain exactly how to obtain 3 marks?/  :P

Definitely sounds like time was an issue based on the Instagram responses!

For that one, I put that he closely and actively watched the behaviour and the consequences of that behaviour. I think that was what they were looking for, but there is no way to tell.

I wonder how they're going to mark the 10-marker because it seems like a lot of people found it fairly doable, and lots to write about.

Almost too much to write about hahahah

Had half a page dedicated to sources of stress then a page each for psycho and bio responses. Still had way more to write but ran out of time

There was a question that was about breathing retraining and how you can use context-dependent cues to help someone remember the breathing technique.

Is it correct to say repeated pairing between the cockroach and the breathing technique, via systematic dessentisation, can help the dude remember the breathing technique every time he sees the cockroach? So then every time he saw the cockroach it acted as a retrieval cue for the desired info? I think I over thought it.

I think you're over thinking about over thinking.  I haven't seen the questions,  but what you've described seems like a valid response
