Psychology Practice SACs

[Watery]

My first SAC is coming up next week (aos1), so I'm seeking any previous/practice SACs available out there!

Please love and share  :buck2:

Thanks!

im not sure if there are any, but correct me anyone if im incorrect.

what school do you go to?
your best chance would be asking your teacher for a practise sac although tehy might just give you outlines of what to study.

Theres no such thing really. In psych there are about 6 different modes of school assessed coursework. Ie. You could have a short answer test,  an annotated poster, a media presentation, etc. as your SAC. Its up to your school. Your best bet is to ask the teacher which parts of the study design are being assessed and if youre lucky you might even get given a criteria sheet which will give you more specific detail of whats being assessed.

Alright. Thanks for the response

Is there any particular area within AoS1 (which I believe is Brain and Behaviour) that you're struggling with?

I get everything, but it's hard to remember the brain research methods, such as its meanings, and a few advantages and disadvantages. Is there any tricks/keys out there to easily distinguish the differences?
For example My teacher said that PET and fMRI has multiple colours which means they give information on brain functions
Also MRI and CT are black and white meaning they provide information on structure.
My friend who's done Psychology last year said that the main main thing they tend to focus on is MRI and fMRI, is this true?

That is all

Well, this may be true, but remember, this is the last year of this study design. They might spring a few surprises.

As for remembering brain research methods, may I suggest that you learn how it works (at a shallow level), the advantages and disadvantages of each research method.

For example: PET, uses a radiological isotope (often Glucose) to measure the amount of activity at a region of the brain. Advantages, can see brain function (what part of the brain is using up energy when a particular action is being done). Disadvantages, can not be used continuously due to the fact of the long term exposure of radiation may cause cancer.
