Any tips for 1 and 2 >?

Do as many questions as you possibly can and do all the past papers too. Knowing the content is not enough-you have to be able to apply the knowledge.

Thanks very much. And btw, have you already sat this paper and unit 2 ?

Yup. I'm retaking both this year.

Oh right. Which would you say is harder and requires more practice 1 or 2?

print past paper

have a go

print same paper

write down mark scheme on paper to pretty much same way they word it

at night time (because gets in your head better before sleep) analyse and study the mark scheme in the bath. This should take about 30-45mins. Make sure it actually goes in your head and understand it. picture it

do this for all papers

repeat process at least twice (i put a tick when i analyse the paper so two ticks means i analysed it twice)

print first paper you tried and smash it in exam conditions

Who on earth spends 45 minutes in the bath? :P

Besides that I agree with everything you've said.

Hey, what would you write for a 5 marker on cholera??

Sorry about such a late reply. The reason I'm hesitant to give u the answer is because there is a 5 mark question for Cholera in a recent past paper and it would be MUCH more beneficial to you if you did it yourself and see if you hit all five mark points since unit 1 is a *****. But if you still want to know I'll write it on here.

Okay cool What do people thing would be the potential five markers anyway? Just about everything has come up I guess really. Im'a think it's gonna be a repeat one but different words used/worded slightly differently?I'll write up all the current five markers that been used later for anyone that want's to try decipher what they have not yet asked.

I'm predicting Cell Centrifigation and/or Microscopes.Questions about Asthma and Glucose absorption are also likely!

Hahaa yeah Ultra-centrifigation slipped my mind completely. Cheers buddy! Don't really know what they can ask about microscopes though? How does an EMS/LMS work? I don't think that's on our spec to understand how they work but it's still covered in the text book in the terms of a beam of electrons etc.
