Hey! Hope paper 2 went well for everyone 
My predictions have been correct so far for paper 1 and 2, so here are my paper 3 predictions:
- Cardiac cycle (may be linked to control of heart rate)
- Translocation and evidence for/against mass flow hypothesis (ringing experiments, tracers)
- Index of diversity (may be linked to transects/quadrats in topic 7)
(Protein synthesis may come up, but this may be linked to topic 8 content)
- Taxes/Kinesis (incl RP 10)
- Control of blood glucose concentration (incl RP 11)
- Stem cells
- Oestrogen - linked to transcription factors
- Photosynthesis/Respiration
- Some more juicy genetics qu's
Essay predictions (anything can come up, so here are 4 potential essay titles):
- The importance of proteins in the control of processes and responses in organisms
- The importance of hydrogen bonds
- The importance of water
- The importance of concentration gradients
(Microorganisms is unlikely to come up as a title, even though Miss Estruch predicted it -- most of the topics are overlapping and there's not enough content on microbiology, but it is a good idea to plan an essay for it!)
If there's enough people who want it, I may post my A* essay answers to the essay titles which got me the top band by my teacher. Good luck! ONE MORE PAPER AND THAT'S BIO DONE. YOU GOT THIS.

Hi all, hope revision is going well.
I sat my A Level Biology exam in 2018 and got the highest national mark on paper 3 and FULL marks on the essay. I have a copy of my essay back from the examiners from years ago - if anyone is interested please DM me your email and I can send it to you
I've got a youtube channel where I go through each of the required practicals - do take a look! The videos are very concise and include the most common Qs usually asked for these practicals:
Aaaaaand lastly I've got lots of application style / predicated papers (especially for paper 3) - might be useful!
Best of luck xx

Thank you mate
Hey guys so after paper 2 i wanted to note down what didn't show up much in both papers as there is a high likelihood they'll be on this paper.
AS Content: Mass Transport and Gas exchange (Module 3), Ecology (Second half of module 4)
A2 Content: Respiration and Photosynthesis (Module 5), No taxis and kinesis (Module 6)
Hope you find this helpful

ONE MORE PAPER AND THAT'S BIO DONE. YOU GOT THIS.just to add cos ik someone alrdy put this on, these are all the topics that weren't assessed in P1/2 but obv aqa being aqa that will defo refuse to mention some and then repeat some others
Photosynthesis
Respiration (stretch)
Nerves Resting and action potentials and ****
Blood glucose and the calibration RPA
Succession
Mutations
Transcription factors/siRNA/oestrogen (stretch)
Lipids
Dna replication (stretch)
Transport across membranes and beetroot and osmosis RPA
The heart and blood vessels and dissection RPA
Literally all of protein synthesis
Literally all of biodiversity
Good luck guys they left all the *****y waffly topics for P3
