Edexcel 6BIO1 ~ 9th January 2013 ~ AS Biology

Okay, I've seen threads for OCR/AQA but not Edexcel. Looked around a bit and there isn't one for this exam.

Anyone else doing Unit 1 in Jan?

Yep how's the revision going? Are you doing normal or SNAB?

Didn't know there still was SNAB - I'm doing the regular one I guess. (Lifestyle, transport, genes and health).

Revisions going alright haha - how about you?

Cool, I do the regular syllabus too. I'm attempting to use the CGP revision guide for success.

Same here. It's really useful because of how concise it is.

I don't particularly like the CGP book. There's not enough detail if I'm honest.

addicted to this yeaaaa buddy

I know what ya mean. But I don't really like the official book because it can be too convoluted sometimes. I find the best way to do it is just go over class notes, go through the CGP book, then proceed to do past papers. Anything from the past papers you didn't understand well, perhaps then is the time to go to the official book because that will give you all the knowledge you need.

I also find revising mark schemes very good too.

Oo I've got some of these but not all. Thanks a lot!

Yeah, I do agree with that tbh. The textbook is too clustered, I don't use that to be honest. The best thing is to go over notes, cgp revision guide it, and then proceed with questions like you said.

Have you done any past papers/mocks yet?

Yeah I've done the Jan 10 paper. It was difficult because it had a lot of How Science Works questions and quite a few application of knowledge questions. But I did pretty well. Now I've gotta do all the rest, lol.

Yourself?

I'm doing the exam too (: regular syllabus, apparently SNAB doesn't exist anymore

Yeah, I had the June 2012 paper as a mock in sixth form. That paper is disgracefully hard if I'm honest, but nothing revision can't handle. I got an A in the biology mock though

What else do you do?

I'm doing this too how are you finding bio? so far been averaging around 70-80 in mocks (jun 2008 snab - jan 2012). Need to find june 2012 -___-

I don't think I've done any other complete past papers - just certain questions, as well as the questions from the CGP book. I'll have a go at the June 2012! (And good work!)




Here you go.
