Biology 1st June OCR

DJkG.1

I think you are both on about different specifications, ie. syllabus-2000 and syllabus-2008.

Chuck111 - which unit spec. did you make these from? I assume the new specification, but I'm sure that had details about CHD in it. :s-smilie:

Um I made these from the new specand the new spec states :

Discuss the possible links between diet and coronary heart disease

Discuss the possible effects of a high blood cholesterol level on the heart and circulatory system with reference to LDL's and HDL's

umm im sorry skate alexia lol after reading that you are right

Soz guys i missed that point :frown:

Lol no worries, you are the one doing others the favour - you shouldn't apologise!

Had a look at your cards though - well done, they seem useful and I'd use them too if I didn't have an abnormal way of learning! :p:

You miss some details in CHD, such as excess intake of carbohydrates in converted to fat and stored in the adipose tissue, ect.

Soz umm my revision guide obviously doesnt go into enough detail

Yep, im also sat for this exam aswell, thank god i dont have to resit, scored 79/90 in unit, using the specification, just a quick question here guys, should i strictly follow the specification?, or should i cover the whole molecules ..... section of the book made by heinmann, because theres a lot of crap in the book thats not in the specification, was wondering if i should take a quick look at the other stuff, because they do ask those nasty suggest questions and maybe thats covered in the excess stuff, anyways any answers that are ACCURATE (:P) would be helpful, apart from that really killing myself with revision for this unit about 7 hours a day of revision, ( i left it until the last minute ) doing about a page of the spec everyday and more ( 8 pages ).
thnks, good luck with this exam to the rest of you !!

hey Najizzle. Odd that this thread had died. Anyhow, in January all I did was read the book once the day before the exam, huge mistake lol, got one mark from a B. This time though I'm doing as u are, going over the specification, ticking and writing notes on it. Covered two thirds of unit one yesterday and shall finish that today. I think/hope this is a good way; and yes, I'm killing myself with 8 hours a day with bio, chem and maths. There is no other way :frown:

that's what I thought. Their questions must remain in the specification, however a "describe" question will have allocated marks from other topics that aren't in the specification.

Reply 51

i think its best to read up on the other topics if possible in spare time, just incase but give priority to the spec.

I've got the specimen paper, but I've already done it, and I'd prefer to do a few more.
