okay easy? i can't come to that conclusion tbh. With prac exams I could always rate how well/bad i thought i went, and those prac exams always asked really- not just obvious concise questions- but stuff that you can expect is examinable.


this exam wasn't like that. Maybe for section C it was ok. As compared to mid years though.

So I really don't know.

I dont know, wasn't overly difficult but wasn't easy either. I mean looking back maybe I made mistakes in multiple choice and section C, I doubt many people got 10/10 for that. The VCAA sample for unit 4 was harder than this though! which is good.

Well I was lucky enough to have a similar Extended Response in a SAC, so I was prepared for it. I wouldn't say it was 'easy', but it didn't stress me out at all... unlike the mid-year exam  :o

I am guessing a large majority of the state got owned; they didn't address the the questions you would really expect them to in the SA, very little on operant and classical conditioning, very specific questions in the detailed study (as opposed to 2 treatments/contributing factors from psych/bio/soci], and weird MC

I too found it "easy", except I didn't understand specifically what different questions wanted me to respond with, so I ended up writing about 2-3 lines extra for each question...hopefully I will get the marks

Fascinating poll at a 14-11 split. The cut off should be slightly higher at 75 IMO. Just going to have to wait and see.

not really, as a general thing you fill find that the average person on that poll is far above the average psych student, so I really wouldn't try and pass judgement from that [I mean look at methods, if I used what people on atarnotes got I would be getting around 20 ss].

I think there will be a large gap, the exam didn't focus on "main components" of the study design, which many people would have known far better than the shit they asked...asking about interval instead of ratio? Really specific questions on the detailed study. Very little on oc and cc.
