Hey thought I'd make a thread for the MAY 2012AQA BIOLOGY UNIT 2 (BIOL2) exam in a couple of months. Feel free to share notes/tips/materials/questions and thoughts on the exam.
DATE OF EXAM: 21 May 2012 - 1hr 45 mins - PM
DAYS TO EXAM: 19 (May be out of date upto ~ 1 week)
I'm retaking this :P Haven't looked over the stuff since last summer ^^ One question - do we need to know anything from Unit 1 to help us answer any of the questions? Sorry I haven't looked over this for a while and really can't remember xD
anyone know any good revision methods??? This probably sounds stupid but i actually dont know hw to revise :/
Get a revision guide Do practice questions and exam papers. Mind maps...writing notes again on flash cards.. That's how I revise anyway Also - little and often. Don't try and do it all in one go, my attention span is about 1-2 hours then I lose focus So go off and do something such as have a cup of tea/coffee then come back to it
I'm more of a visual learner too, so I learn a lot from diagrams as find I can remember them easier. Also bullet points are more helpful than a chunk of a paragraph
Ouch - I really wanted to retake CHEM4, but my 2 chem teachers + the head of dept. said it'd be easier to harvest the UMS from CHEM2
Now there's practically no chance of my getting an A* in CHEM (I need 174/180 UMS from CHEM5 and CHEM6 to meet the 270/300 requirement)
How hard is CHEM 4 anyway? CHEM 5 isnt that bad, I did that in Jan, but I flunked and got a B. Whoever is writing these exams cant ask straight questions lol

Chem4's pretty simple, if you're good at Organic
Just a bit of tricky stuff with Acids + Bases, and 13C + 1H N.M.R. spectra.
