I thought the paper was fairly easy compared with some of the past year VCAA papers and trial exams of other companies, just that this paper required you to apply what you knew, thus all the responses were pretty lengthy. So I'm expecting a high cut-off for A+ this time round.
Yeah the IV and DV was sorta switch, but really, you'd be screwed if you don't thoroughly read the questions anyway
I reckon the dodgiest questions were:
-the criticism of retrieval failure theory
(I put that even though we are presented with the proper retrieval cues, we may not be able to access the needed memory because of repression, suppresion, amnesia, organic causes of forgetting, etcetcetc.)
-MCQ on the decay theory
(I put the answer that was about repressed memories, but I reckon that one is wrong. The correct one would be the one that says 'explains how information is lost from STM.)
-first SA question on the long-term memory store the professor was testing
(I put episodic memory, but a quite a few people put semantic (because semantic stores names?) and someone told me he just put declarative because it can technically be episodic and semantic...)
