<p>FRQ were so long…</p>
<p>Don’t worry that much guys, but for me, it wasn’t as easy as I expected.</p>
<p>Like, e.g, one with schachter’s 2 factor thing had MC choices that I couldn’t quite grasp, because it just wasn’t the way it was written in my book.</p>
<p>Anyways, the FRQ had aggression, color blindness, and hunger --explain biological mechanism.
Another had anorexia nervosa, gender role, and something else --explain environmental factor</p>
<p>FRQ 2: Some girl called Brandie, and anxiety about a dance performance. Easy, i guarantee you.</p>
<p>The FRQs were easy.</p>
<p>But for me, the MC portion had more to do with subtle MC (smthn like the SAT) than just remembering the terms. Ofc, not all of them, but some of them.
Oh, here’s one: which scan is the best for metabolic rate --i was stuck between PET and EEG
oh, how is classical conditioning considered by contemporary psychologists
and another hard one with standard deviation, it said if you changed the mean of the scores by 5 points, what happens to the dev. I wasn’t sure on that one, too.
Oh, and one MC, where you had to differentiate between two choices: are there few rods in the fovea, or no rods. Man, I hate these people who made these questions.</p>
<p>No, guys, the teacher changed each one’s points. So she subtracted a constant, which won’t change the standard deviation. ****!!! i can’t believe i got that one wrong!</p>
<p>PET for metabolic activity??? ***??? Can someone confirm that??</p>
<p>PET uses radioactive glucose which is consumed by active brain cells.</p>
<p>“PET scans offer “metabolic imaging”, which detects differences in the metabolism of tissues.” from: <a href=“http://cancergrace.org/cancer-101/2007/01/09/pet-scanning-intro/[/url]”>http://cancergrace.org/cancer-101/2007/01/09/pet-scanning-intro/</a></p>
<p>ya, since PET uses radioactively labeled glucose, and this glucose will go to places where metabolic rate is highest, you can see where the highest metabolic rate is.</p>
<p>the frq about brandie, was that like, anxiety disorders?</p>
<p>It was about reinforcement, how adrenal glands will affect her performance, and how schachter’s theory would affect her performance, and normative social influence.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! :o :)</p>
<p>Made an account just to say that I tanked on the FRQ.</p>
<p>as did i my friend, as did i XD missed 1 on the first that i remembered spontaneously and only had time to define, and missed 2 on the second… </p>
<p>sigh.</p>
<p>and i dunno on the mc, i think i got like anywhere from 15-30 wrong so ehh… i would reallyreally like a 5, but we’ll see :o</p>
<p>I feel pretty confident about the multiple choice, as the Barron’s book really helped. But the same cannot be said about the FRQ. Our proctor wrote the ending
time of the FRQ weird, so I spent like 40 minutes on the first question, basically screwing me over on the next question.</p>
<p>I feel as if every practice test in the in the Barron’s and 5 Steps were easier than the exam -_- oh well I think I missed 15 ish. Essays weren’t too bad. I really want to discuss them but I have to wait until they’re published :/</p>
<p>Aw man. I guessed on like half of the words on the first FRQ. </p>
<p>The second FRQ wasn’t too bad. </p>
<p>The multiple choice… I’m guessing about 20-30 wrong. </p>
<p>I’ll be happy with a 3. :D</p>
<p>A 3 in psych would be quite embarrassing imo… Anyway, not referring to a specific question here, but would a research flaw be situation relevant confounding variables such as time and location of a study?</p>
<p>^no. but hypothetically splitting up the groups by age could be a research flaw maybe in a hypothetical situation</p>
<p>Well the IV has already been determined so its an ex post facto study if the ages in the groups were different. So I don’t think it would be a flaw…</p>
<p>Anyone else stumped by source amnesia on the first FRQ question? Other than that, I can’t say the test was that bad. Few stupid mistakes here and there but overall I feel relatively confident about it (special props to Crash Course for helping me cram experimental vocab before the test).</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s embarrassing. The school I’m attending only requires a 3 for credit. I mean, it’d be nice to get a 5, but if a 5 still has the same value as a 3, it doesn’t even matter.</p>
