To self-assess your performance, use this question paper alongside the corresponding mark scheme (AQA-71821-MS-JUN20). Attempt the entire paper under timed conditions before opening the mark scheme — this trains both your subject knowledge and exam technique. Mark each question and record whether marks were lost due to knowledge gaps, method errors, or careless mistakes.

The most effective way to use this Psychology question paper is to simulate real exam conditions: set a timer for the full duration, work without notes, and write your answers on separate paper. After finishing, mark yourself using the official mark scheme — do not check answers during the paper. This builds exam stamina and reveals your genuine readiness. Repeat this process across 3–5 sessions to identify recurring weak topics in Psychology (7182).

Evaluating the original study instead of addressing the question's AO3 requirement

Many students produced evaluation of the original studies (Milgram, Lorenz, Harlow), without linking that explicitly to the AO3 requirements in the questions.7182/1 June 2022

How to fix: Treat AO3 as a directed argument, not a generic critique. Identify exactly what the question asks you to discuss (e.g. 'what situational variables tell us about why we obey'), then choose evaluation points that directly serve that argument. Avoid drifting into ethical criticism of Milgram/Lorenz/Harlow unless the question invites it.
