Details of photometric observations during the totalities of the primary and secondary minima of SZ Psc are analysed in the light of the “star spot model” for RS CVn type binaries. Presence of scatter during the totality of primary minimum and its absence during the totality of secondary minimum of SZ Psc provide evidence towards one of the assumptions of the model,i.e. the spot activity confines to one of the hemispheres of the cooler star.
