Unofficial exam paper for AS Level Psychology Research Methods, 3rd set [24 marks]

This is the 3rd set of unofficial exam papers for the Research Methods Section of AS Level Psychology.

I have made a short video to help guide students on how to read the stimulus and make ‘clues’ which will help them answer the questions in the exam paper.

There is a stimulus (the same stimulus as the 4th set unofficial exam paper) and questions (24 marks) for students to answer. Because it’s AS level I have only put 24 marks worth of questions. I am currently making unofficial exam papers for A level that have 48 marks.

This paper tests:
Experimental Design
Sampling technique
Hypothesis (directional/non-directional)
Hypothesis writing
Extraenous Variables
Random Allocation
Percentage Increase calculation
Interpeting descriptive statistics
Implications to the economy

There is a mark scheme for ease of marking, and/or peer marking.

As in the real AQA exam, students should be given 30 minutes to complete the paper.
