VCE Psychology exam-day checklist
Prepare for multiple-choice and written responses, and show how a psychological process explains the scenario.
By ATARMAxxing · Updated
What should you check before the exam?
Use VCAA’s equipment list for the examination and check the answer-sheet instructions for multiple choice. Review the current Psychology specifications so you know how to divide your effort between the response types.
How can you approach the paper?
When a question gives a scenario, name the relevant concept and use a detail from the scenario to explain it. For a research question, identify the variables and use the evidence given to justify a conclusion or limitation.
What should you check before you finish?
Check whose behaviour or experience the question is asking about. In an extended response, make sure your claims connect the psychological concepts to the evidence across the whole answer.
