    Not really fighting. The poor girl was just trying to help. You don't need to learn experiments word-for-word. No one needs to make a big deal of it. If you want to waste the time on learning all those experiments- go for it. No one is stopping you.

    I obviously don't know but I reckon points to revise:
    Cloning and micropropagation
    Genetic engineering
    The industrial fermenter and large scale production of insulin
    Perhaps germination and plant reproduction
    Nitrogen, carbon and water cycles.
    Feeding relationships and pyramids
    Gas exchange and ventilation in humans.
    Deeper level on heart function
    Accommodation of the eye and the pupil and iris reflexes.
    Vasoconstriction and vasodilation.
    I reckon these topics will be hidden cunningly by edexcel into experiments, yet I reckon it's more common knowledge than memorisation by rote

    Yeah same! We just need the paper from someone who sat the exam at a centre which gives exam scripts out! That's what we're all waiting for.

    I just sometimes get unnecessarily nervous about things but my answers turns out to be correct and it's hard to say without looking at the paper but I would say near ~110/120
    you?
