OCR Biology F212 Revision [3rd June 2013] (Now Closed)

It is so true, and it gets worse at A2 :L

just did an f212 paper ekkkk

How did it go?

86%

I don't know if this is good or bad considering I have did it before and the exam is in a month

It's my first paper without a textbook

well under the new spec i think the highest it has been out of 100 for full 150 ums is 86, so really you more than likely got full ums there

That's good! Keep up the hard work and you'll be fiiiiine

thanks so much for the encouragement!

From now on in under no circumstances will I be allowed to look at notes while doing a past paper

hows your revision coming along?

the mark schemes are too specific - its not testing our understanding and knowledge of biology its testing our ability to learn previous mark schemes and be really specific. I managed on average 78/100 and we still havent done evolution/conservastion...

So true

This really irritates me

I know the spec inside out but yet I will probably not get an A due to not being an obedient little rote learner

I refuse to rote learn.. These people who sit down and rote learn definitions really fry me

Peace out.

When I try to do a paper, I can't do half of things. It is horrid.

yea I know, If I can get a low A I'll be so happy..I am definitely not taking Biology to A2- no way.

Sooo.. I just got $\frac{87}{100}$ in an F212 paper without a book.

June 2011.

$\frac{73}{100}$ for an A in it according to the OCR website.

I don't know if I should be pleased or not This was my first paper without using a textbook. However, I have done the paper before.. that slightly depresses me.

What do you guys think?

Well, I'd rather get at least a decent A. But same! I'm not going to do Biology next year. I just find it increasingly boring.

I swear 85-88 is equivalent to full UMS most of the time...so yeah..i'd be pretty darn happy if i were you

wow awesome

Hopefully I'll pull that off on the day then xD
