EDEXCEL Biology Unit 2 6BIO2 21st May 2012

I'm finding a lot of the content on this unit really boring. :frown:

And the exam papers are so full of data analysis it makes me just want to go to sleep...

Unit 1 had wayyy more interesting content imo.

Hahaha, it was alright I guess, apart from the fact that I was a complete idiot and misread a 4 mark question. :frown:

I'm hoping I'll get some sort of marks from it though! How did it go for you? :smile:

Ready for unit 2? :tongue:

What was that 4 mark question?
It went well for me, I didn't have any problems but I know I lost a couple of marks :rolleyes:

Cool! It was the one where you had to draw out the structural formulae for the ethene-related compounds... I drew them out as displayed. :'( I think the rest went alright though hopefully! Do you mean you've already sat unit 2 chem? Cool! What else did you need to do for it? I just need to do the last paper for unit 2 biology, then read through my notes and recap everything again tomorrow... You didn't take biology unit 1 did you? It was a weird paper. :s-smilie:
