OCR Biology-Unifying Concepts

Is anyone else taking/has taken this nightmare of a paper?!
How did you prepare for it?
Not only is there all the content to learn from Central Concepts and AS...but the questions are really tedious!
Luckily I don't have to do very well in this paper to get my predicted grade...
But how did you all cope?
I've been reading through the textbooks..and learning the facts isn't a problem..but the questions are so hard!
Any advice greatly appreciated!

If you're coursework is rubbish, you stand no chance whatsoever of getting a good grade.

My coursework wasn't the best, but I ended up getting 80/120, which was a C in think.

No chance whatsoever of getting a good grade overall...or in that unit?

I am

My teachers seem to think everyone either does really well getting high A grades, or really badly getting near no marks :eek:

Apparantly there is no middle range!
We've done some practise papers, and it seems like you have to state the obvious, which although that sound easy, its not the first thing you think to do!

Print of he spec then go through it. I'm not starting revising for this module until I've finished revising for my other Biology ones. I'm doing 2 AS retakes anyway, and I did the other in January.
