IMO "a couple hours" is wayyyy too vague! When I read that I immediately ruled out stages 3/4 as an option because I thought by then the person would be at least in their 3rd sleep cycle (thus not experience NREM 3/4).
But sadly... :'(

This exam was so weird compared to other exams. How did the left visual field in right eye work? I was looking for right occipital but how come they don't have that option? I ended up choosing both left and right but can someone explain why it's not the right occipital lobe?

An eye receives both right and left. Visual fields on the other hand go to BOTH eyes but are received only on one side of the eye, ie left side of left eye and left side of right eye for left visual field. Confusing!

I think I could have passed. That exam was incredibly easy considering I did 0 study. Kicking myself right now.

I did 10+ practice exams and I stilll felt that it didn't help with this exam. Tbh this exam was sort of easier than others but it was just that the questions were so unexpected. I was expecting biofeedback and stuff in the short answer cos it came up in most of the ones I did. At least we didn't have any of that Mr Simpson and Mrs Davis crap on working mem or else I would have failed.

Amen to that ! I was literally celebrating that nothing came on this and biofeedback ! ;D

And agreed with the unexpected questions thing..hoping for a lower cut off this year.

But doesn't it only send to one hemisphere? I thought left visual field goes to right hem and vice versa.

One visual field=one hemisphere, one eye (is both visual fields)=both hemispheres

What was the question asking then? I thought it said that an object was flashed to the left visual field... and then something about the right eye... so the left visual field bit was to throw you off? cos I thought it was asking for which lobe would receive the info if flashed into the left visual field of the right eye.

They can't without a copy of the exam - I think the atarnotes team offered to do it once they could get their hands on an exam copy

That would be wonderful! A PDF is probably the preferred option, but I'm sure everyone would be happy even with some quick pictures :)
