As you are hopefully well aware, the 2nd Prelim for Psychology will take place next Friday (8th May). A provisional time and place - room A24, 10.30 to 1.00. Sorry about going into lunchtime, but it's either that or morning break! You are welcome to bring snacks with you - I don't want people leaving early beacause they get hungry.
This exam is very important, great preparation for the final exam, and doing well in it will mean we have a very strong case for an appeal if necessary.
You will be doing a lot of your revision by yourselves, due to the Monday holiday, plus I am away at a meeting on Thursday the 7th. From a revision point of view, focus on past papers...SQA advice is to use past paper questions in prelims. Some of these questions might be slightly modified, for example I could change a question on obedience into a question on conformity or whatever. So keep this in mind as you revise.
Make sure you know the format of the exam - any questions then check with me. As a basic quideline, it is more or less the same format as the 2008 exam, but the essay questions could be on Conf&Obed instead of Intelligence.
One last point - remember the importance of A&E marks. They add up to 40% overall, and each correct point you make gets you two marks. Extra A&E marks can also be carried over into K&U, so for example if you put in 50% A&E you can still get credited with all of these marks. (Note that although the paper as a whole has a 60-40 split between K&U and A&E, each individual question has its own mark allocation which you must take note of).
