Unofficial exam paper for AS Level Psychology Research Methods, 4th set [24 marks]

This is the 4th set of unofficial exam papers for the Research Methods Section of AS Level Psychology.

There is a stimulus (the same stimulus as the 3rd 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.

I have a created a video to help students ‘de-code’ the stimulus looking for ‘clues’ to help them answer the questions.

This paper tests:
Experimental Method
Sampling technique
Operationalisation
Independent variable
Random allocation as a control measure
Pilot Study
Measures of Central Tendency (strengths and limitations of the median)
Bar chart
Peer Review
Validity

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.
