Exam Thoughts & Review

What did you guys write for the hypothesis for extended response? i think i did the population wrong :/ I wrote Year 8 (whatever the school's name was) students

The appraisal question worth 4 marks was just.....

OMG THIS WAS TERRIBLE!

Was it Sally? LOL ok for question sake it's Sally.

Did she interpret this as Harm/Loss or Threat?

I knew Audrey was Challenge but i wasn't sure about Sally.

If I wrote the IV, DV and hypothesis, how many marks is that worth? :/

[mjwalka]

DAMMIT forgot to mention harm/loss/threat!

I was wondering where the 4 marks would come from!

Even knowing it said to investigate impact of positive reinforcement on students of mathematics, i wrote the population as year 8 students... so stupid... urghh.

Its hard to say because there was A LOT of stuff that you COULD say in discussion.

From previous exams I had done, and according to my teacher it was something like
-IV + Operationalised = 2
-same for DV
-1 for hypothesis

I dunno though, it might just be 3 marks, just have to wait and see

[nemolala]

there was nothing on Little Albert LMAO!

[REBORN]

Sally - harm/loss and threat
Audrey - challenge

I used the extra response space for that Q

Population - y8 students at w/e school it was

Bahhhh so we were meant to write students of mathematics in the hypothesis? lameeeeeee

[hookey13]

more importantly, what was that MCQ about snakes and putting him in the snake enclosure?

it was flooding

[harlequinphoenix]

I said year 8 students too. Omg. that question was just horrible and I basically wrote and wrote and wrote, SO BLOODY VAGUE.
Nothing on Freud Hardly any phobia questions at all actually. Lol that's the interesting stuff.

Your guess is as good as all of ours I think but in my opinion I think it's

1 mark for IV
1 mark for operationalised IV
1mark for DV
1 mark for operationalised DV
2 marks for Hypothesis (Population + correct variables)

1 mark for accept/reject hypothesis and why(statistical significance)
1 mark for confounding variable
1 mark for control of confounding variable
1 mark for for conclusion and generalisations made but then i said no generalisations 'cus the sample was convenient...

[spikey]

I found MCQ to be a mixture of really hard+ambigious, and really easy. the ones which were like 'what type of learning is this?' I found really easy...and there were quite a few of those ones

[REBORN]

Poor poor split. 8 whole marks on Lazarus. 4 on plasticity.

lol did everyone put fMRI for the imaging technique? total lol if VCAA marks it tightly and say you have to write "functional magnetic resonance imaging"

[nemolala]

i put FMRI too!
