The tip is to think carefully when doing the exam. Make sure you are thinking Biology, not general as this is a Biology exam and not a General studies exam. :yep:

Yes, I am joking.

Module 5 is easy I think. The only time it gets tricky is some of the calculations (i'm rubbish at maths) and if they throw in something synoptic that I don't know as well. They seem to just repeat the same stuff all the time but applied to a different graph or set of data.

Should be fine after sitting mod4 and if you have to resit it, you'll only be building on marks

My coursework was on the distribution of pleurococcus... Anyway, I thought the exam went alright. Some questions were a bit odd, but it was pretty expected!

i thought the exam was ok aswell, although considering the past papers, the first few pages were the hardest and it got easier towards the back becuase those were the bog standard questions. i liked the one about the resistant insects and the saprophytic fungi :biggrin:

Yeah same. Those were good questions. Others were quite tough though. Averaged out as a decent exam, I guess with more easier questions than tough.
