oh im doing that one too :frown:

although i prefer this to the internal assessment its still the toughest paper i have..predictions? from my past experience doing AS level, i think you can at least eliminate those experiments that have appeared in the past A2 papers. well i did that last time and it worked so yea :P if that experiment has appeared in a past A2 paper, then you dont need to study that in too much detail, just a brief look will do.

hahaha my words are big and i cant write much either..and its worth 10 marks!!
even when i do my school-based assessments (thats what hong kong calls our internal practicals) they give us 2 hours for the prep work, 2 for experiment and report..how the hell am i supposed to write one full report and two frigging data response questions in 1 h 30 min. serious no way.

our teacher says that limitations=circumstances that your experiment set up you fail. like what your set up can not test.

Yes, you must make a thread. And you must also check last year's Edexcel Bio Unit 6B thread - just search for it here - because it has a lot of useful resources which you guys may find very helpful.
