I think u misunderstood me, we DONT get to do ANY part of our SAC at home to use during the real SAC (which is normal)- i did that for my own personal practise. The thing is all other my other freinds i know (at other schools)- at least where allowed to receive some kind of indication from their teacher. Hell i would be happy if she simply nodded her head.

As for Erinys ERA it is really good but considering on how much space i think we are going to be given, it is actually way too long. No other SAC i have ever sat did not allow for atlest some questions. I guess i should not really be mad but im just a little frustrated considering that i have3 SACS on monday!

Also should psych classes be up to atleast AOS3 by now? because i though we were behind

Lol. Well the thing is, i go 'ahead' in class because i know that the teacher doesnt really teach the class to an extent of what we are supposed to be learning. Thats why i use Study Notes and attened Psych holiday classes to keep ahead. :) Personally, i'm up to 'sleep' in AOS3 and my class are only starting states of consciousness next week- if she teaches it next week. (apparently wer are having a class party??) btw- what school are you at?

but yeah, i also recommend Eriny's ERA for a basis. I have also seen hers and based my format the way she has written it and when i did ask for my teacher to 'check' it, she said it was of a very high standard. so do that!

As i said, your ERA was good, but i wasnt sure what your actuall experiment was, so i couldnt help you anymore. Also in your intro define 'context'- because the ERA is based around conext and perceptual set. For mine i also defined Visual Perception, because context influences an individuals visual perception.

:):):)

I suppose it should not be that bad. Oh yeah.. i go to Antonine College in brunswick, its a fairly new school. I suppose what ever happens happens, thanks anyways for your help.

Also this may sound funny, But i thought Eriny was a guy. LOL dont ask why, its because im a noob :D

I quickly skimmed over it, however I don't have a lot of time to comment on it ...sorry

God job. It's pretty good. However, you're not quite clear enough... :)

In the introduction, you state: The perceptual sets are our predisposed predisposition to perceive the world according to our expectations.

You've used the same word twice which means exactly the same thing, and you need to clearly define perceptual sets. You need to stress it's a theory, and that is not what the theory states.

The aim of the study conducted by the year 12 psychology students of Antoine college was to ‘examine whether context had an effect on perceptual set’.

This sentences contradicts your previous definition in your intro.... although I may be wrong.
Also, I suggest you write your own aim rather than quoting, like:
"The aim of this investigation is to determine whether context has an effect on perceptual set"
(You need to define what 'context' means...)

"The study made use of the context in which the perceptual sets where shown, the perceptual image shown was that of an inconspicuous “B 13” image. "

'the study'? What study? Your study? Someone else's study? If you are describing your own study, you must instead use this information in 'method'.
(Also, you used the wrong 'were'. :))

I think you need to develop more coherency, as the only individuals which will be able to fully comprehend the nature of the investigation are people who were involved, or solely the author.

Remember: You should aim to write a prac report in a comprehensive or clear manner to ensure readers who have no prior knowledge on the subject or study will be able to fully understand what the study entailed. You should never assume that your reader knows as much as you do, and it should be your intention to inform them and keep them engrossed in your investigation.   

Good luck! Hope it helped and hope I gave you the correct information. Feel free to disagree.
