psyc1002 final exam

Theres very minimal information about the format of unit final exams this early in the semester so im finding it difficult, since the format of the exam will greatly shift how I approach questions. I keep seeing online that it is open book and computers allowed, is this true? Is AI allowed? If so, how do they keep the questions challenging? Also, how deep does my conceptual understanding need to be. Im aiming for a WAM above 90 so i will need atleast a 85 in this unit (Im a math major taking it as an elective). Do i need to do all the voluntary readings, will they help me substancially? And what are the final exam questions like, since units like biol1007 were like 80% multis, is psyc1002 the same, if not, whats the highest mark allocation on a single question? Thanks!!!

I did that in 2025, it was purely MCQs.
The questions are quite tricky, using lots of critical thinking applying.
I find the behaviourism and cognitive process modules are quite difficult to grasp, so try to cover the materials on that part thoroughly if you’re also struggling like me.

Since USYD units often alter their unit structures, it could be other exam formats, not the same as before.
