    well the physics one was pretty easy so im not worrying about it too much, im just making sure i know whats in the textbook, and doing a coupla past papers.
    for the pre-release you just need to know basic background, and you cant do much more than that!!

    I find that practicing the paper from the year before and remembering all the answers is helpful because i have realised some of the questions from the previous paper do come up again in the paer. The exam boards are lazy so grab the opportunity :yes:

    I'm in a Top set Science class and we only did just over 2 weeks revision for C7 and now we have done the same for B7 and I need some revision fast for it because I am sitting it in 3 days :eek: i got a B for B1 B2 B3 and i grasped really easy but I'm not grasping B7 as easy is this normal? because apparently all the 7's are really hard!

    The 7's are a little harder, but thats only really because theres more content. If you got B1,B2 and B3, B7 should be just as eaasy ^^
    Just try nt to worry about it too much...

    Though I should take my own advice...I'm sitting it next week and its scaring me a LOT...

    I'm doing this exam next week, and I've noticed something from doing the 4, 5 and 6 modules in the sciences. If you do the past papers from the last 5 or 6 years, they tend to use the same questions over and over again, changing the wording or the figures. That way you're fairly prepared Here's a link to the biology page: http://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications...nts/index.aspx

    I've set up a B7 forum thread so we can focus on weak topics etc., for this years exam
    I appreciate you'll all be needing to revise physics (P7) before but it's there whenever you need it
