Edexcel, for chemistry and biology please


Basically, there are 3 Units in each subject.
Unit 1 and Unit 2 - core content.
Unit 3 - Practical based Unit based on knowledge from Unit 1 & 2.

Use the Edexcel published books (by Ann Fullick).
Download the syllabus from the Edexcel website, then make notes accordingly.

Remember, pastpapers are vital. :wink:

Good luck! :h:

Hey, Im taking an intense A-levels course (as and a2 exams). In January, ive got:
a2 chem unit 1 and 2
a2 bio unit1 and 2
stats1 and stats2

All on ocr exam board.
I was wondering if there was anywhere I can find test papers for separate modules
e.g. chem unit 1 has three modules:
-rings polymers and analysis
-polymers and synthesis
-Analysis

I just want a test paper with just module 1, 'rings polymers and analysis'.

Any resource sites I can find these?

Or is my best option to go through the past papers and just do the ones I understand?

Here's a really good website for chemistry: http://www.a-levelchemistry.co.uk/OCR%20Chemistry%20A/OCR%20Chemistry%20A%20home.html

Just look under the units and each topic has a set of past paper questions attached with answers.

Hope this helps!

xtremepapers.net

know all of the material first, then plough through past papers; it's the best form of revision for science/maths subjects
Hey guys, anyone know any resource of questions (from past papers) based on a single topic in a subject?

For example: A whole booklet full of questions from different past papers on the topic 'CELLS'.

Thanks, and I hope you guys respond to this. I'm worried that I have misunderstood something.

I'm doing AS AQA Maths, OCR Physics and Chemistry and Edexcel Biology and I need some help choosing revision guides.

I've got text books for all the subjects except Maths but I don't want to buy a big text book because I won't even use it, I'd rather buy a revision guide. I need revision guides for my science subjects as well.

I'm thinking about buying the CGP books for Biology and Physics but I don't know what one to buy for Chemistry. :/

Anyone have any good revision guides for AQA Maths and OCR Chemistry?
confused as to why my thread has been moved here...

much appreciated guys :biggrin:

Does anyone know where I can get the 2010 and 2011 past papers for the Biology and Chemistry Unit 6 ISAs? I checked the AQA website, but they only have EMPA past papers and specimen papers.
