Hi!

Couldn't see a thread for this exam so thought I'd start one.

Anyone got any predictions on what is likely to come up? Also, what type of questions do you think will come up for the case study?

Any revision tips?

[blazin-23]

Am guessing something like other treatments and detecting techniques for cancer in general. I have no clue on the antenatal care question... anything could come up :/

Hi guys, sorry i dont do this subject/cant help with the exam. As a medical applicant (I'll be starting in Sept) I was just wondering do most human biology students apply for medicine? Just curious, i have pretty much zero knowledge since GCSE on any type of human biology. Are you guys hoping to study medicine?

Anyone got any exam technique tips? I know the content but I'm still only getting Cs in past papers because the mark scheme's answers don't really match up with the question. They'll ask a specific question for only a few marks but the mark scheme requires you to basically write everything to do with that topic. :/

Dreading this exam, argh. Haha.

Cannot believe it is tomorrow!! Not looking forward to this at all!

I think the case study questions on cancer will be about biomarkers/and clinical trials and on the antenatal care will just be about care for the mother beforehand. What does everyone think??

[jamescourt94]

just been reading the antenatal case study ,
would probably suggest looking at -
what does high blood pressure suggest,
what folic acid and vitamin D do,
rubella,
why drink lots of water before the scan?
gestational diabetes,
what does high protein levels suggest?
effects of a low lying placenta,
what swollen ankles and feet could be a sign of (pre-eclapmsia)
meaasuring fetal growth

Really dreading the exam tomorrow

[Sixthformer94]

Really dreading this exam tomorrow, the only thing keeping me going is i got an A in F221 so wont need that much of a high grade to just get a C overall but my teacher wants me to get an A
What does everyone think the lung cancer of the advance notice will be about, i so hope its nice.

Are you sure you've got the right board? Or exam? OCR F222 is today.

[LeaX]

What did you all think?

I thought it was okay, but not expecting anything above a C. Trust all the stuff I revised to not come up.

I hated it so much, what did you get for percentage, I got 50% but my friend got 55% so I was like ahh.

[derbyg]

All my friends got 100% for the percentage. I got 39% I hated the HIV question.

I got 39% aswell

[arh88]

I hated that percentage question! I spent ages wondering whether to put 39 or 100 as my final answer, I put 100 then crossed it out at last minute and put 39. It was really ambiguous as to whether they wanted the percentage increase or simply the 'raw' increase, which also has percentage as the 'units'. Because they just asked for the increase, and not percentage increase, I left it at 39. Other than that thought was ok.... bit pushed for time though.
