Tips:

Read the examiner reports - these give an insight in what the examiner wants

If you have the workbook- do all the questions- a lot of the time the questions are repeated or taken from there.

This thread will be updated when people post more of their tips/resources.
Feel free to post questions asking for help, and don't hesitate to help others!!

:smile:Good Luck!!:smile:

ill try though i dont know how the dropbox thing works
(edited 7 years ago)


Oh basically with drop box, you take a picture on your phone and then download the app and it puts your photos onto drop box.
Then when you log on to the your computer dropbox online they show up. Then you can attach them etc.

Thank you so much for all these resources. They're great! Do you think anybody will make an unofficial mark scheme for the papers?

Predictions

I thought maybe a six marker linked to animal or plant communication/co-evolution as they've never done a six marker on that?
its going to be the nephron structure. They have never asked on the nephron structure

Okay Thankyou! For plant or animal communication could it be something on the way they communicate so visual scent sounds chemical etc
Anyone have any chemistry and physics predictions?? These are my last exams and I'm honestly so tired of revising but I'm trying to survive until the end of the week :s-smilie:
What do you predict for P3??
