  • its ok bhai....i think in paper 2 if u frame answers by linking with few theories fom paper 1
    you will fetch more numbers.......at least this is what i did this year........and rau's note's are good but they are mainly replica of ncert and baron.
    you are talking about rau's printed notes or handwritten classnotes??..also, are they available in delhi ORN or mukherjeenagar area??
  • How are MA previous Psychology notes of IGNOU? I amfinding them in much more depth as compared to standard textbooks like Baron, NCERTs etc. Are they worth reading?
  • @bhhavik they are very bulky; you'll need to pick the relevant topics.
    But they are not comprehensive as per our syllabus; paper-2 topics like military psy, IT psy, sports, environmental etc. have to be done on your own
  • Can any senior who has scored good elaborate on the broader technique of writing answers....While understanding theories n all seems to b easy but answer writing in psychology looks like a different skill altogether. ..can anyone Pl ?
  • Guys anybody enrolled for a test series. Please share questions.. Plus anybody interested in answer writig practise. We can certainly collaborate here. I have written thrice with psychology.. 2011- 123+145, 2012- 109+141 and 2013- 79+82. Cant understand the decreasiing trend :(
  • @Psychology2014
    Bhai can you share your booklist for covering psychology paper 1 and paper 2 ?
    Thanks
  • @ psychology 2014
    Taken vision s 1st test...yet nt got the checked copy n feedback....ll Def share quests whn I get it...meanwhile can share a couple questns I can remember
    1 objections of supporters of multicultural perspective to the basic assumptions of Freud
    2 is development of self concept really imp ? With real life examples
    Can u tell how shud we approach n esp the examples part
  • Also took last yr mains...although I felt I jst did well in paper 1..dint quite score gud...ctually very low....scores 55 n 65....still don't knw the reason for such a score in paper 1...One reason cud b apparently short answers than the prescribed limit...does length matter a lot in optional ?
  • @LuV
    As far as booklist is concerned..
    P1- Class Notes of Pathak Sir..
    Baron
    Morgan and King
    Atkinson and Hilgard

    P2- There is so much shortage of any material forget quality material

  • P2- Smarak Swain is a must. I think every candidate is doing that.
    Class notes of Pathak Sir
    Internet research can help
    But the problem is paucity of time this time around. ALl the sources are useful only if they are assimilated into ones study material which eats up so much time esp with less than 90 days to go
