does anyone know the difference between projection and displacement? i still dont get it

@songmino projection is projecting your own thoughts on other people and displacement is displacing your anger or any other feeling on something/someone else.

@songmino for example, you might experience projection when you hate someone so u tell yourself that the person you hate also hates you, and an example of displacement is getting angry because you get a bad grade, so you hurt your dog or punch a wall

@pqaixx how do u think you did

^test hasnt even started bruh…

I have left that test feeling mind drained. I can’t even remember the questions

Don’t know how I did. Either I failed or I passed very well. I did horribly on the FRQS… :confused:

@splashzone10 he said he just finished the test…

@1601er Okay first of all, I’m a she. Second of all, yes I finished the test early because I took the international version. It was so easy I finished the MCQ in 30 mins. The FRQ wasn’t hard, but it was SO LONG I almost didn’t finish. Overall, I’m expecting a 5. My mocks were barder than the actual test.

sorry. hahaha same! @pqaixx

I feel really good about the test! I didn’t have much time to study since I had AP Chemistry the same day but the questions and essays for Psychology were very straightforward. Kudos to whoever wrote them this year. I’m expecting a 4, maybe 3, but I was expecting to do much worse because I barely had time to study.

Most of the questions had glaringly obvious answers imo. I think it’s because I studied throughout the year instead of cramming. I would start reading a question and would already know what the answer is because the keywords in the prompts were hardly subtle.

Contrary to how a lot of people felt, I personally got wrecked by todays exam. I had no time to study after prioritizing for the ACT and went in cold and pretty much just got spanked. I personally felt the m/c was brutal I probably scored around (40-70%) on that and I think I got about half of the total frq right. Hoping for anything above a 2, but with 6 exams this testing season is just going to suck.

i self-studied as well as procrastinated so i read through all of barron’s the night before. I think i got 60% on the multiple choice but i think i got only 1-2 points for the FRQs total because i’ve never done FRQs before and i had very shallow explanations for everything. what general score do you think I got?

Think I got at least 80 MC right, 4/7 on first FRQ, and 5/7 on second FRQ. Hope this translates to a 5.

@aude182 look at the second page of the link below. It should give you a rough estimate of what you got based on your MC score

Does anyone know how many points on this exam out of 150 you need for a 5? Because I think I am right on the bubble.

@1601er that exam, both FRQs were out of 8, so the score distribution is a bit off by a couple points

@islandersfan1 I think you need above a 107, from the scoring I’ve seen on practice tests
