what module 2 topics are likely to come up ok here (mainly cause they didn’t come up in p1)

e.g cell division, protein synthesis etc
transcription/translation for sure ,cell cycle

i didnt revise any as topics like the heart or plants so when half the paper was on that i was about to walk out - spent months going over module 5 just to forget the loop of henle stuff and label the kidney wrong cause i said the pyramids of nephrons was the medulla... like i can't express how bad it was, i even said that fetal haem has a lower affinity to oxygen even though i had revised that like 4 times .. soo silly and i hope paper 2 can't go worse

Miss Estruch Biology has summary videos for each module for ocr. They're really helpful!
Out of ms estruch, Claire biology and biorach which is the best to use for ocr a? Also are these vids better then the cgp textbook?
paper 1 didn't go as expected for me either. i felt like the questions were so specific this year and much broader in previous years. I’m gonna try smash paper 2 and 3 to make up for it because i think i barely got no more than 60 marks, likely less.

I can't lie, I ain't watching Primrose Kitten ever again. I can predict better topics than her. She literally predicted the 2022 paper again. Tbh that paper was aight. I got confused with the ectotherms and endotherms stuff so hopefully I get a BOD on the 6 marker.
I'm gonna do papers from 2009 for biology and chemistry. The way OCR got pictures from a 2011 and 2012 paper was mad. If I had done those I would've been patterned.

But in the end I think I got an A. Paper 1 is anyway my weakest. I adore Paper 2 because of the diseases topic and the maths. Genetics tho, questionable
