Predictions on the 6 marker? Maybe Enzymes

I think it will be about Cell Division (Mitosis and Meiosis).
Enzymes sounds plausible though.

I hope we don't get two 6 markers, like the June 2014 paper did. :eek:

Hah yeah

That's crazy :frown:

I'm doing b3 as well. I'm quite prepared as biology is a strong subject, but feel really unprepared at the same time.

Only problem is the mark schemes make no sense

What do you do after you make notes from the videos?
Do you memorize them?

If so when, after each video or after you've finished everything?

That's good that you have time to revise! Good to see you're using your time wisely too :smile:

For me, I found it best to watch all the videos within one section (if they're still in sections?) and then I would review my notes and have a break. Go back do another section and repeat. After having watched all videos I would then go to my parents or siblings/friends can help too and asked them to quiz me on the subjects. I would have a list of all the subjects on a checklist or within a book, I'm sure you can find it somewhere, if not write them all down.

They would ask me 'what is ....' And I would tell them all I knew about it. Just spitting out all and everything I could remember. It is helpful to speak out what you've learned I found. If I was happy with what I had said and remembered a fair amount of stuff I would tick it off the list.

If you have textbooks too it is good to look at their summary pages and get questioned on them topics too :tongue:

Best of luck :smile:

I would revise P2 as much as you can. I did AQA gcse triple science last year achieving A* A* A*
With Physics I Scored 100 ums in P1 and P3 but only scored 84 in P2. It is the most difficult unit in my opinion!

I find it the hardest as well. P3 has hardest content but is a short unit so it's very easy

P3 is an amazing exam. Questions are hardly any different every year

Thank you.
Thank you for the tips as well. Appreciated.

I'm over the moon that the P2 exam is like a week after the C2 exam.
That's plenty of time to revise.
If it had been on Friday, or something I think I just would've gave up.

Did the notes take you long to make?

Ready over here for the B2 and B3 exams!

Got 52/60 on a B2 paper and then 48/60 on a B3 paper today - both strong A*s. Will be revising hard tomorrow, as well as doing past papers - and then it'll be the big day!

Yeah you are very lucky! I remember my physics exam was in between I think my RE and English? I can't remember but it was a very busy week for me and I had barely any time to revise and in the end gave up with the videos. I still managed okay though thankfully but if you have time definitely revise.

Sadly the notes do take ages to make. A full day probably. My mum wondered what had happened to me, I was locked in my room all day hahah

I agree with this.
P1 was so easy in comparison to P2.

I used to love Physics now I hate it.
P2 is very Chemistry like, but I'm good at Chemistry.

I'm just dreading that awful topic of Electric Circuits.
I despise that with a passion.

Well done! Hope you do good in the real ones :smile:

just remember to revise and knuckle down on every subject. My friend got an A* in her English mock and a B in her real one. She was disappointed. So yeah just make sure you go over absolutely every subject/topic there is as you never know what will come up

Best of luck :smile:

If last years paper got 2 six markers, there will be a high chance that there will be in this years paper!
Hope we don't get two six markers tho!!
