Well, at least it's over! (For you, anyway!)
I thought the exam paper was pretty reasonable. Section A was pretty good - nice chunky areas of the topics to talk about. Section B was an experiment which was great, especially as we had practice of answering similar Qs in your 2nd Prelim.
The section that stood out as most problematic was Conformity & Obedience. The first Q ('What is meant by conformity and obedience') was ok, but the other two were harder. For (b), 'consider factors which affect conformity...refer to relevant research evidence', I hope you thought to include situational factors such as group size, and individual factors such as age and gender. Certainly not an easy one. (C), on the ethical issues with obedience research, is perhaps more straightforward, but not something that many people would have prioritised in revision. However, bear in mind that pupils throughout the country would have the same problems with these questions!
The essay Q on Intelligence was always going to be a bit tough, but the topic was fairly predictable - theories of intelligence (aspect 1) - this hadn't come up as an essay Q before.
All in all, I thought it was as good as could be expected, and I hope you gave a good account of yourselves!!!!
