It's not actually THAT hard of a paper. Its just timing, and not even too much the only problem is that handwriting may suffer towards the end.

are you sure there are even more that 3 exams for unit 6? maybe there are only 3?

Yeah, they had unit 6 exams every June (just like unit 4 in the new syllabus). If they had only those 3 papers (2005, 2008, 2009), they would have to do that unit in 2008 if they couldn't do it in 2005, right?

But I can only find those three papers uploaded anywhere

No way!
The phillip alan revision guide has been pretty good for other units, but nowhere near enough for this one
I'm gonna be using anderton, tutor2u, getrevising, pajholden anddd my own revision notes

Phillip Allan is more a specification guide rather than revision guide. I believe it is written by the chief examiner so do not overlook it. Tutor2u is useful.

Hey guys, good luck with your exam!

Btw random question..about unit 1 and 2..do you think that it's possible to try and teach yourself? I'm doing my AS this year and I made the mistake of picking bio instead of this..so how hard would it be to teach yourself those 2 units?

Thanks

If you pick things up quickly, then you can definately teach yourself units 1 and 2 as well as three. Unit 4 is a bit more tricky. There are many text books desiegned for the course that contain all the information you need. I'd recommend the one by Peter Smith - clearly written.

The only difficult thing is to motivate yourself to learn it on your own.

Thank you!

My school gives students the big yellow and green textbook that is by Edexcel..is that any similar to the one by Peter Smith? If it is, then I can borrow one.

Motivation..yeah I think it may be a problem but i'll see how it goes

I have C4 too! Not too worried about it as it's a retake paper. Can't say the same for this one. I'm so worried that I will run out of time
