We got given that hodder book from school. Theres less content but OK for application - where are the answers ???!

I've found this a problem - there are no answers, unless only teachers have access to them?

Yes please - I'm desperate for any resources, thanks so so much .
Although I can imagine your workload must be through the roof if he gives you that much!

I'm sure you'll do brilliantly as you did so well last year, so don't worry!! Just try and relax. You're doing it quite early - we didn't do our AS one until around April time last year :O.

Out of interest do you go to a state or private school/college?

I went to a very bad state school until year 11 and then got a 100% (15 grand a year) bursary for a private college in westminster for my A levels!

Yep . Oo good luck - I find this unit is so much more difficult than the other two :\.
That sounds like a good idea - you're so organised! Although this year I've just (on thursday) finished making notes on the Nelson thornes book as my school is too slow, although I'm not really that clued up on Inheritance.
How come you're not taking it in Jan? Both unit 4 and 5 in june?

My teacher said we won't be ready by January (I beg to differ) and so he never entered, I begged and he said no. So I'm resitting BIOL2 in January and doing the other 2 in June. I don't like Nelson Thornes for A2 much, it's good for content but that's it. The hodder book is fantastic.

My teachers kept on ranting that the Nelson Thornes books for AS / A2 are aimed at those who want to get a C

I don't know really, it depends to be honest. It gives the information but really does waffle on and knowing AQA, they're more focused on application which the Hodder book fulls insight to, even the content in the Hodder book is better. However, in June 2010 the BIOL2 paper had two questions from the application box in Nelson Thornes with the same exact question so it definitley isn't useless. For AS it's really good but for Unit 4, it just lacks a lot of the application so it's more useful to learn content.

I agree but you need the NT books for content. The hodder books don't go through it in nearly enough detail.
And I beg to disagree with your teacher - I ONLY used the NT book last year for AS and got well over 90%. So i wouldn't worry what your teacher says.

But this year I'm not taking the risk, so I'm using NT for notes, and hodder for exam questions.

I use the NT book to get the information, and once I've revised I'll use the hodder one for questions, because the hodder one doesn;t have enough detail. Saying that, the hodder one doesn't have any answers either!!

The hodder one is also quite difficult to read as it's layout is pretty boring
But the application stuff is a God-send to me! I needed most help with that.

I should have made a thread for this but I'm more likely to get more of a discussion in here.


I don't know which formula to use?

20-5 = 15, so there is an increase of 15 per 1000 people overall.

15/1000 = 0.015

Therefore, the multiplier is 1 + 0.015 = 1.015.

Pop in 2007 = 107,000,000

Pop in 2008 = 107,000,000 x 1.015 = 108,605,000 people (hopefully )

Thank You!

We never went over this and seeing as I couldn't do this, figures I'll have to do it myself (the chapter). Thanks again

So that's how you do it! Did it in class but couldn't get my head round it!
