Biology f214 June 2014 revision

I prefer F214 over F215 because its much more interesting. F215 is just blueghh tbh.... especially the ecology section. But we still have to learn it if I want to get a good grade :smile:

Am I the only one who thinks f214 and f215 both suck? Can't wait to never do them again :ahee:

After doing plenty of the past papers I am now of the opinion that F214 is great and F215 sucks, because:

a) The mark schemes for F215 always seem to be really overly tight;
b) There's way too much content to remember for F215, where as F214 is small enough that it's still burned into my memory;
c) F215 is just absolutely boring as hell with the only interesting bit being genome tech

On the plus side, F215's boundaries are really low; hovering around 65/100 for an A.

Youve finished f215 ???
We've only got up to genetic engineering this week.

And really ? About 65/100 ?

We aren't anywhere near finishing, still have 9 lessons worth of stuff to finish after Easter! Which is fab considering first week back we have our mocks -.-
The lowest I've seen it is 60/100 for an A - I think this was June 2011, and the highest was 77/100 for an A - which was January 2013 (although this was a very high grade boundary compared to all other papers, this was just an easier one)

What do people need to get on these papers to get their target grades?

I think the f215 module should be cut down especially since we didn't have any January exams

I can remember f214 so well but f215 isn't a pain apart from the cellular control and behaviour units - all the spec objectives are easy to write about and remember in the other units

I finished F215 in February but I am working subject by subject, not several units simultaneously like everyone else is, so I wouldn't panic. :tongue:

F214 I am not even remotely worried about but F215 is really, really stressing me out.

I need a C at A2 to get an A overall. But I'd like an A* :tongue:

Pretty much same as me! Although if my coursework grade is moderated and stays the same I need 1 mark less than a C on both exams - but then to get an A* we need 90% :frown:

I'm about the same too - my coursework's been moderated already and stayed the same thankfully, so I just need mid-Ds in both exams to maintain an A. Would love an A* though, just not sure if it'll happen!

Because I got over 90% in AS and have full marks in the A2 coursework, meaning I need a 55% average now to get an A :smile:

Nope, I got 278/300 at AS, which means I need 67% this year. (202/300)
