That's strange, I was pretty sure that they would accept Canadian qualifications lol I'm sure you would've found A Levels much more manageable.

Definitely, its still equally as hard but the module system is better than being tested on everything in 2 years in a month.
Btw, you finished A2 bio in 2 days? Thats amazing, more free time on the study leave.

Nah, our A2 is split into two exams. I've finished revising for everything for THAT in two days.
Fair enough haha Although some people abuse the A Level system too much. If there was only one chance for resits, I think it would be better. I haven't had to do a single resit except for exams I sat early and had self-taught.

Ah, so theres one in Jan and one in June? But still that is a lot, what topics in the Jan one?
Oh, how many chances are there in re-sits. Not even sure if IB has even resits.

For me, yeah But some people do both in June, some people might want to do both in Jan (this is rare though because it involves the person having to learn the second unit outside of school haha but has happened in my school a few times )

All the blue stuff in the table of contents

Well, it varies for resits, but theoretically, it's possible to do as many resits as you like

Woah, so much work if u do both in jan.
Hmm not too bad, would have taken me two days too. The content seems interesting though except for respiration.
That is just , isn't it unfair to keep resitting though for universities cuz u had more chances to get the mark?

It really isn't that much We actually finished before half term
Respiration is the best!!
Yeah it is but people do so many resits. Obviously, there's only two times a year you can do the exam, and you're in college for two years, so if you stuck to two years, the maximum possible is 3 retakes

Yeah, its not a lot esp limiting factors and stuff, not sure how much detail you guys needed but for us it was 10 minutes. Whens half-term, october?
Genetics is
Oh, true but its just annoying.

It's stuff like how the amount of RBP, TP and GP vary with differences in light intensity and carbon dioxide concentration
Yeah, third week of October I think it was.
I love respiration

Oh, we just learnt the graph.
Woah, that was quick and you guys start in october?
I don't mind it, the Kreb cycle annoys me way too much. I like ETC and stuff but Kreb cycle is just The only part I really don't like in bio is ecology, not too interesting.

Oh okay haha.
Nah, we started in second week of September 5 hours of lessons a week for 6 weeks. That's 30 hours
Krebs cycle is cool!! I love cycles Love how the end product goes back to the beginning

You guys learned so fast. Our entire physio unit was like 30 hours and thats 1/12 units in IB .
Like I said weird taste in bio, that is not interesting at all!

Wow! 360 hours I may die
Not weird, GOOD taste You gotta admit, it's so cool how acetate combines with oxaloacetate and goes through all these reactions and at the end of it, you get back the oxaloacetate It's like an enzyme almost

plus fall asleep.
And, i believe its acetyl Co-A not acetate but true say.

Really? Haha. I thought the CoA was just used to transport the acetate to the krebs cycle in the form of acetyl CoA and then it's back to acetate? idk, not too sure now
But yeah, you admit it! It IS pretty awesome

Yeah, it acetyl CoA. Its okay, didn't revise hard enough.

Well neither of us are ''wrong'' per se



See how the CoA has an arrow pointing out near the Acetyl CoA? And Acetyl CoA without CoA is just acetate

[laurie:)]

dammit guys i came on here to avoid revision!

Right, but acetyl CoA enters the cycle.
but yeah acetate= acetyl CoA-CoA
