Well said! :yy:

Only respiration / photosynthesis / genetics (towards the end) made Unit 4 bearable for me - there was just too much ecology! :colondollar:

Not resitting it, doing it for first time. My school doesn't do January exams, which is good. SO many people screw up in January, seems pointless to do it then. May as well do it in summer.

Can someone please give me some advice on how to tackle this paper. I thought i knew the stuff, but when i got onto the past papers .. they seemed incredibly difficult. Same thing happened in January, I don't know how to handle this paper!
