How did you find it

I couldn't find another thread, so I made this one....

What do people think will come up?
Has anyone got a good revision guide?
Does anyone have a document for all the core practicals?

thankyou

I can only start revising on Wednesday :| My teacher gave me a sheet with the core practicals and a revision guide which I condensed if you would like me to share them?

Well, I say can, I just had a Spanish exam today and I have English Literature on Wednesday so I've just been concentrating on them :frown: although I have been doing revision on and off since we started units 3 and 4 so I'm not too worried :smile: How is your revision going? I'm really surprised there isn't a thread on this exam already! For the unit 1 and 2 exam there was a huge thread ...

Sorry to just butt in like this :colondollar: (Hope you don't mind)

Took a look at your notes and they're really detailed and useful. I'm dreading this exam..
These notes will definitely be very helpful!

Thank you so much! :biggrin:

You're welcome :smile: I'm glad! Me too, I still hate the explain/suggest/describe questions, and I know NOTHING on biodiversity etc. Better start revising...

Thanks :smile: I have the CGP revision guide, I've gone through a couple of past papers, but I'm not feeling confident at all! I think a lot of it is about understanding how the mark scheme works and learning common definitions and explanations such as mitosis stages from the mark scheme. Of course understanding everything helps too :wink:

I spent the whole of today revising for this exam. Along with the textbook, revision guide and especially your notes, I feel so much more prepared now!
I mean, I'm not completely ready to do the exam right now but I no longer feel like I have no idea what's going on, so by Monday I'm hoping I'll be in a good position to do well on this paper :biggrin: (fingers crossed)

How's your revision for this going?

Thanks again for the notes! :tongue:

I'm really glad they helped :smile: I'm starting revision tonight and hopefully I'll be in a good position by Monday too, I revised quite a bit of plants a month ago but I've forgotten nearly everything I revised! I'm going to do a LOT of revision this weekend though. Have you got any other exams? I have chemistry on Wednesday which I am dreading so much.

Yeah, I'd done some revision for this exam about a month ago too but I forgot most of it.
I have chemistry on Wednesday too! I do Salters B, so have the F332 paper. I had the first paper (F331) for chemistry yesterday and I don't think it went as well as I had hoped so I have to ace next Wednesday's paper! Pressure :frown:

I do AQA Chem, I really want an A in this next exam but there are a tonne of equations and mechanisms to learn which I don't know yet. Did you do an ISA as part of your chemistry as? This next chem exam contributes more to the final grade than the others for me :/
Also sitting this exam :}

I hope it has more content than HSW
Revising for this exam now.

I've only done the 09 papers.
Will start the rest when I'm bothered :lol:

Just keep going over it and I'm sure you'll be fine :yy:
Yeah, I did. Don't know how I did on it though, we were never told.
Same with me, the chem paper on Wednesday contributes the most overall so I really need a high mark on it (getting an A would be great :colondollar:) so that I can average a good grade at the end.
I'm in year 13, by the way. I'm just resitting a few papers because last year was a complete disaster for me :frown:
This will actually be nothing compared to the stress I'll be going through next month when I sit my A2 exams :cry:

I would love to get an A, I want to carry on with biology and chem at uni. I might be in your situation next year :/ I had a spanish speaking exam which, well, didn't exactly go great, and I'm scared I won't do well in this chemistry exam. I am terrified of A2 exams, they're a lot harder than AS I've heard? Good luck with your A2s!
