A2 exam
Wishing that the exam goes well for A2 students. The most important thing to remember is do lots of AO2 – that’s where the marks are. But it is not just about lots of AO2 points. You won’t get much more than 6 marks AO2 (and a Grade C0 if you can’t elaborate the points. Each point should be one paragraph of 50 words. Quality not quantity.
Hi Cara,
I had a panic attack after the exam and realised that there was a question that said:
“Outline and evaluate one social psychological theory for aggression”
I realised after the exam that i wrote about institutional aggression which isn’t a theory!
However after looking at the examiners report for june 2012 when a similar question was asked this is what they said:
“Some weaker responses appeared to be pre-prepared answers on institutional aggression, which earned marks when factors were explicitly presented as social psychological. ”
What would i of had to have written to gain at least some marks on this question, bearing in mind it was 21 marks?
Thank you
I’m sorry to hear of your exam problem. I think one explanation of institutional aggression may have been fine (because it is a social explanation of aggression) and then all the evaluation would be creditworthy. You’ll just have to put it out of your head til the results come through.
