i KNEW some smart arse would say that....i was just illustrating a point.
they all sounds the same...whether they are enzymes or not.

Well I also thought you might have meant that, but just in case you thought sucrose was an enzyme... :p:

Better to feel slightly patronised by me than lose marks on your exam lol.

I've also gone 2 other exams to prepare for not just this one! But making my way through the topics and definitely using a revision guide; too much in the textbook :s-smilie:

Biology first right.

Does anyone else find the questions really fustrating? half of them aren't to do with what you know, but having your own ideas and using your knowledge to back you up!

And I also hateee those 'suggest why ___________ isn't valid/precise/accurate' Thats not biology!! :frown:

I think you know to a fair amount of detail regarding heart disease and lung disease. In the specimen paper, there was a 6 marker and 4 marker question on heart disease!

Lung mechanism as in breathing? You need to know about inspiration, expiration, calculating pulmonary ventilation and working from lung volume and pressure graphs. :smile:

I have 6 exams in total and three harsh one's on the same day (s1,c1 and chemistry edexcel unit 1 all on the 9th), but im definitely sure this Aqa biology paper is gonna kill. Besides from using the specification and creating your notes anyone know a better way to ensure ownage in the actual paper?? and btw I'm new to this website so Hiii everyone ^_^

Hey..I don't think there is a specific way you just need to try and know everything (from the spec) and try to practice lots of past papers although I've done nil as I just cba searching for questions related to our spec and I just feel like we're guinea pigs; having a new syllabus this year!

and hope you enjoy this addictive site ^^
