AQA Psychology Spec. A PSYA4 (Research methods)

I've been searching everywhere for a little quiz on Stats tests but I've not found anything. So I thought I'd make my own to help reinstate what I've learnt and to hopefully help others. This quiz will include questions about choosing the appropriate inferential statitistical test and general research method questions.

Please rate if you think it has helped!
