"PSYCHOLOGY" — how important is this for the PSYCHOLOGY exam?

Appreciate everyone sharing their experience here. I'm 5 weeks out from my psychology-degree exam date and feeling more confident after reading this. The consensus on practice test being the hardest section matches what I'm seeing in my practice scores — going to put extra time there this week.

Coming back to this thread because I just passed my psychology-degree yesterday. Everything people said about the exam prep section is spot on — that was the hardest part for me too. For anyone still studying, don't skip the applied questions in the free psychology questions and answers. They're the closest to what you'll actually see.

For anyone finding this later: psychology-degree is passable with consistent effort even working full time. I studied 60 minutes a day for 9 weeks. The psychology degree free principles of psychology kept me honest about my actual gaps.

Failed my first attempt because I totally underestimated how deep they go on the core psychology concepts. I figured I knew the basics and moved on, but the exam hit me with way more application-style questions than I expected. It wasn't just "name this theory" stuff.

Second time around I spent a full week drilling the foundational material before touching anything else and it made a huge difference. You've done 11 practice tests which is great, but if you're still getting those questions wrong review the reasoning behind the answers, not just the answers themselves. That's what clicked for me.

Honestly, I'd stop worrying about whether it's "high weight" and just focus on understanding the material deeply. What actually helped me wasn't grinding more practice tests — it was going back after each one and figuring out exactly why the wrong answers were wrong, not just why the right one was right. That shift completely changed how I retained things.

Like, you can memorize that answer B is correct, but if you don't understand what makes A and C tempting but flawed, the exam will find a way to trip you up with a slightly different phrasing. Once I started doing that, I stopped second-guessing myself so much. It's more work per question but you need way fewer reps overall.
