Paper 1: Research Methods introduces and develops your knowledge and understanding of the process of planning, conducting, analysing and reporting psychological research across a range of experimental and non- experimental methodologies and techniques.

Section A: 20 Multiple choice questions

• Make sure you know how many questions you can do before you become tired
• This is the easiest section to ask questions on: Harvard referencing (WHO WHEN WHAT WHERE) and the sections of a psychology report (TAIMRDRA)

Section B: Research design and response

• You will read a novel source and be asked questions on this
• There will be a 'Design Your Own Research' question in this section (4 x choice, apply, justify, own research).

Section C: Data analysis and interpretation

• You will be asked to analyse and interpret novel data or a piece of hypothetical research using descriptive and/or inferential statistics.

Whenever the question says 'in this study', you need to link your point to the study - use a unique word from the story.
