Re: AQA A2 Biol4 January 2012 pre- exam discussionAfter this weekend, I'll have 2 chapters left and Inheritance to self-teach over half term. Really good that we finished early(Original post by SpringNicht)
Only got respiration and photosynthesis to finish now, woooo! Should be done with the syllabus in a couple of weeks.
What is everyone using for revision, just exam questions, CGP or something else?
I'm using exam questions as I go along after each topic

Re: AQA A2 Biol4 January 2012 pre- exam discussionJust finished off Inheritance topic on one side, and finished Photosynthesis on the other (we have two teachers, teaching two topics simultaneously), so we're officially done with Unit 4
For the next 4 or so weeks we'll make a very good start into Unit 5, and then we'll come back to unit 4 in January (exam is like on the 21st?), so we'll have 3ish weeks to revise unit 4
EDIT: Also, are units 4 and 5 equally weighted, at 140 UMS each?Last edited by thegodofgod; 10-11-2011 at 21:19. -

Re: AQA A2 Biol4 January 2012 pre- exam discussionI might be resitting BIOL3X (EMPA) next summer, so will have Units 3,5 and 6 to revise for(Original post by LifeIsGood)

Re: AQA A2 Biol4 January 2012 pre- exam discussionI have to redo the ISA aswell! I'm not even doing BIOL4 in January but my teacher needs us to finish it off now properly so we're fully prepared. I want to start BIOL5 after my January exams, so February but that may be too late?(Original post by thegodofgod)

Re: AQA A2 Biol4 January 2012 pre- exam discussionI wouldn't recommend it - it's quite tight as it is starting Unit 5 in January, so leaving it for Feb might be too late(Original post by LifeIsGood)

That's the only reason we're starting Unit 5 in a week's time, to stay ahead of the game
