Official AP Psychology thread 2012

I think I answered second frq wrong. I knew every woe but didn’t exactly relate them based on location. I just related them in function I guess. </p>

Also I put dichotic. I originally had cocktail. Shouldn’t have switched it I guess. How many can we miss on the mc and still get a 5?</p>

What do you guys think the curve is going to look like this year? 4= 80-104, 5= 104-150?</p>

who is most likely to get heart disease? which letter was the answr? competitive, or harsh, hostile…etc</p>

@FullMetalx
I wasn’t even sure what we were trying to prove with the whole location thing :confused:
I just mentioned stuff like “Oh, seratonin is a neurotransmitter and its LOCATION in the body helps decrease depression” or something like that, haha.</p>

Some of them didn’t even seem to have a “location”.</p>

when can psychoogists share information?
Never</p>

For serotonin, I talked about its location in the synapse and the role of SSRI in reducing depression</p>

So they have different FRQ’s and different tests…
The last question on my test was functional fixedness…</p>

Whats the miniminum you need to get a 4, cause I’m very sure I got more than 15 wrong.</p>

I totally just bombed this test. I completely BSed my way through both essays. The MC was ok though. The essay was super hard for me because i didn’t know what to write for half of the stuff. I didn’t understand the second frq either</p>

I did the same thing on the frqs. For the motor cortex, I think I put</p>

The motor cortex sends signals to the muscles to facilitate muscle movement. Its location in the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex is important because non-reflex touch sensations are interpreted in the brain.</p>

Does anyone remember the list of the pairs on question two?</p>

anbyody on the who is most likely to get heart disease?</p>

How much of an explanation/example would we have needed for the 2nd FRQ? I’m second-guessing myself, because I feel like I might have not explained enough. Do you need a real-world example? Like if I said that the list of random words and recall were related because of the serial position effect and that the words at the beginning and end would be recalled easier, would that be enough?</p>

yeah, i put that, what was the one where it was like community psycholgists are most effective at what primary level or something like that</p>

I think I mentioned for motor cortex how the top of it controls the bottom of your body. And how it was located in the frontal lobe.
Lol, does that even answer the question. I don’t think so ugh.</p>

I’m praying for a 5 after those abysmal frq’s</p>

Im sure its the fast-paced competitive… “The type A person is, by nature, competitive, fast-paced, high-strung and uncompromising.”</p>

So the psycoligist answer was NEVER?</p>

I wasn’t sure at all about that one, I think I put written permission</p>

@jetfan
Of course, psychologists aren’t allowed to reveal anything.</p>

I don’t remember what I put for the Psychology one.</p>
