QCE psych September lecture questions 2020

[Bri MT]

Hey everyone!

This is Bri, I'm giving the QCE units 3&4 psychology lecture on Tuesday & I know that people might have some questions I can't get to during the lecture time so I'll answer those here - please feel free to add in other questions if you'd like me to address as well.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can look at all the info for the atarnotes free qce lectures here


Thanks everyone, can't wait to present to you soon

Thank you everyone, it was great to be able to present to you

Ok, I promised to post up questions and examiners report links so here we go:

- For scientific skills generally WACE exams are a great source. At the start of the exams there's a section just focused on this which makes it easy to get in that targeted practice. The one I grabbed for the practice question at the end of our scientific skills question was question 1 of the WACE 2019 psychology exam

- For the end of the cross-cultural psychology section again I used a WACE question - this one was 10b from the 2016 exam

- For the end of the attitudes outcome this was WACE - question 5 from 2017

- For interpersonal processes it was a question I made:

my question

Is someone more likely to receive help if they experience a medical emergency in a busy area or in an area with few people? Justify your answer using psychological concepts. (4 marks)

- For social psychology the only practice exam questions I could find were in EdUnlimited
e.g. q 11 from the 2019 units 1&2 practice exam. Remember: look at VCE units 1&2 for social psychology and visual perception questions, look at VCE units 3&4 for learning, memory, and functioning in the brain questions (functioning of various lobes, however, is units 1&2 VCE). If you want VCE questions about the working model of memory, you can only get these from exams before 2017.

- For the end of the learning section, I used question 1 from the VCE 2016 exam

- For memory the 2015 VCE exam q11

- For visual perception, 2009 VCE Exam 1 question 7 (you won't get visual perception questions in recent VCE exams)

- For functioning in the brain, 2019 VCE exam question 1

Edit: Resources I'm linking below on request from the year 11 lecture will also be relevant to you!

Half an hour until the unit 3 headstart lecture begins!

I'll be using different, self-made questions for this one so year 11s the info above will send you to questions not covered in the lecture.

I am keen to get started
