How'd everyone find it?
 
I was extremely surprised section C was a research methods question, I must say.

[RTandon]

I almost screamed when I saw the ER.
I was so so soooo happy that it was Research Methods!

It wasn't bad. I found there were too many questions on the Transactional Model. So I don't know if I did them properly. Also, I couldn't remember a strength of dimensional and a reason as to why classification systems are used. But I made up answers for it anyway

I'm really hoping I did better than the mid-year!

Yeah I put that girl (forgotten the name) as possibly appraising losing her job as a challenge which I'm not sure they'll except - I couldn't remember harm/loss.

Another thing I'm iffy about is the conclusion to the ERA - I said the hypothesis could not be accepted as experimenter effect may have influenced the results (there was no mention of a blind-procedure), and thus the results could not be generalised, but I'm not really sure whether they intended us to accept it or not. 

I'm predicting higher cut-off than the mid-year. The MC seemed much less time-consuming.

3 marks on reflex actions??

Also, I've got an urgent question;

I had to use extra loose-leaf paper to finish writing my extended response, i DID NOT write "continue to extra paper on loose-leaf", will the VCAA examiners/markers know that my extended response continues on even if i didn't say it?? or will they just acknowledge that was the end?

I was worried about that for unit 3, but it turns out they do know that you continue it.  (Otherwise some of my questions that I did that for I would have got a much lower mark than I did)

That was ridiculously easy and hence disappointing. The cut-off is going to be really high! :O

i really want to see the multi choice answers ASAP...what did you guys pick for the one that said which classically conditioned based technique can be used to reduce the kids fear of balloons and beach balls (poor kid)

[Genericname2365]

I was really happy...and then I just realised I'm pretty sure I missed (I don't even know how) the entirety of question 10, which is worth 3 marks.

what did u guys pick for multi choice q4?

I put her (Maddie I think?) as going through Harm/Loss, but I'm pretty sure what I wrote of Emotion-Coping wasn't right. And yeah, the conclusion bit was weird. I just said that the sample size was too small and there was no p-value so it can't be generalised.

That was ridiculously easy and hence disappointing. The cut-off is going to be really high! :O

That's so true. I wish it was a bit harder! But oh well, what's done is done!
Now to wait until 17th December!

awesome same!

B). Adaptive plasticity, which occurs throughout a person's life
