Hard to say really, just the usual revision tips.
-Make sure you know all definitions/key words! You'll pick up easy marks. I had a 6 mark question which was a 'fill in the gaps', basically just 6 definitions!
-Look at the specification, make sure you can do everything on there..
-Make sure you understand the principles of water potential, phloem/xylem, gaseous exchange etc. If you know the principle of it, it will be easier to work out/answer questions you may not know the exact answer to...if that makes sense? S:
-Time keeping is essential in the exam! Make sure you use the most of it.

Hope this helps! xxx

That was really useful-thank you! :biggrin:

You can, but if theres a pencil next to the question it means they want good essay/question strucure & vocabulary. just bullet point them but rub out the points and write them on one line.

remember, if part o fa sentence is wrong, they can mark the whole sentence wrong so just keep everything really really precise & short.

Transport that does not require energy from the cell in the form of ATP. It includes diffusion and facilitated diffusion (which uses a channel/carrier protein but does not use ATP)?

mostly correct: I would have allocated the mark as follows.

The movement of molecules using only kinetic energy (1)

down the molecules concentration gradient(1)

Use that definition :smile:
