[brenden]

When is everyone starting?
Also, any heads up from past students on the more difficult concepts/ the ones that need a bit more attention?

Yeah I'm aiming for an exam-ready understanding of AOS 1 by the end of the holidays!

I have read the chapters, doesn't seem too bad.

Unit 4 psych is comparatively more straightforward (imo) than Unit 3. I think for unit 4, put extra special focus into your operant/classical conditioning principles and learn to distinguish between and identify UCS/UCR/CS/CR in Classical conditioning scenarios and the 2 types of reinforcement and punishment in Operant conditioning - there's always a question about this on most past exams Also, I found schedules of reinforcement (fixed ratio bla bla) to be sooo annoying haha so probably learn to distinguish them correctly and how they can be applied in different situations (see last year's exam - there was a whole Q on it!). Also, try to learn most concepts like stress/phobia (as well as your detailed study) in terms of the biopsychosocial framework (i.e. biological, psychological and social factors which influence these conditions)

I find this unit much more interesting than Unit 3. Anyone else agree?

Well I thought memory was the most interesting part of unit 3, and this seems to link in with Memory pretty well, so yeah I am finding it better.

Yup I agree. Memory was definitely the most interesting part for me as well.

How are your cohorts going at your respective schools, guys? Most of the people in my school are slacking off as the exams are over and are already in holiday-mode. I feel this is a great opportunity to get ahead.
