June 2011 Ocr Biology F211 and F212

I'm hoping semi-conservative replication comes up! I haven't had a chance to analyse what will come up yet, but I'll go through my notes tomorrow, ticking off things and seeing what hasn't come up. I'll get back to you!

thank you! :smile:

yeah, there's so much to cover , and i have a lot of exams between this and the last biology, so will need to spread time

=/ seeing how i did in this one,i must do well in the next

any tips on how to revise something with so much to memorise?

thanks

Do every past-paper. If you struggle on a particular subject, try and increase your understanding and answer the question again.

I have no idea what you mean so I'll just say it all.

Currently taking; A level maths, AS Biology AS Chem AS Physics AS Critical Thinking - Unit 1.

Dropping Biology.

Next Year; A Level Further Maths, A Level Chemistry, A Level Physics, AS Level Critical Thinking - Unit 2.

Applying to Uni for: Masters Maths, Maths With Economics(Joint)

Will probably apply for Cambridge, Warwick (MMORSE), UCL, Kings College, Royal Hollaway. :smile:

Doing Economics would probably help your cause?

i apologise

but i am trying to get us to focus about the much harder/bigger exam

=/

Everybody else doesn't need 15 repeated posts to be focussed, as I said the majority of us will have a number of exams in between. Anyway, do as you wish I guess, its a free ~~world~~ forum.

I would say no, I've heard it's heavily maths based at uni and economics at a level is very watered down. It would be more beneficial to take history which I may well do, I am undecided. However for now I will focus on my next exam which is C2, I have to retake, only got 81! :frown:

Very annoying!

It is heavily maths based, but 90%+ of applicants to top unis for straight Economics have Economics at A level, and that figure soars to around 95% for accepted applicants at the top unis. It is very maths based, but an appreciation of Economics would undoubtedly help. Don't see why you need history at all. Not relevant to Economics at A level, and probably not at Uni either if you are applying for joint honours with maths. I got 82 in C2, I'm retaking too. Friday...

IMO Unit 1 is harder than Unit 2 (with the exception of biological molecules).

Did the Jan '11 paper for it and was only 4 marks off an A with no revision. :| Grade boundaries were crazily low, 64/100 for an A :O

I don't want to do Economics pure, besides there's no reason why I can't learn economics from scratch at university, the skills gained from history would be far more useful I feel. Lol, nice nice.

Does anyone have the past paper for f212 Jan 2011?
Really nervous about biology D: doing all the past papers twice over lol

I felt quite confident about the exam but looking at these answers and then seeing that I may have got them wrong has made my heart sink. Alas, it's all about Unit 2 now - a very good grade in that will surely give me a B at least.

I'm currently on an A (from the 20% practical) and am hoping for a B at least in Unit 1 so that I can go all out on Unit 2.

Then may blessings and valour be with us.

Not really percentage-able, but as a fraction of the AS:

211: 1/3
212: 1/2
Practical skills: 1/16

As a fraction of the A2:

211: 1/6
212: 1/4
Practical skills: 1/12

214: 1/6
215: 1/4
Practical skills: 1/12

Though the above posts are not neg-worthy, +rep to balance.
