Have done no revision yet but managed to get 70 UMS in the exam, many were bad mistakes. Hopefully I can double that in a week :biggrin:


Same here no revision yet. But there is plenty of time.

Just to clarify: this is out of 140 UMS right? What is it for an A then?

Taken from the only AQA endorsed book:

"Ventilation. The movement of muscles in insects can create mass movements of air in and out of the tracheae, This further speeds up the exchange of respiratory gases."

No air sacs for insects.


Endorsed by AQA only means AQA approve of it, not that it covers everything according to the AQA specification. If that's the Neloson Thornes one then be even more careful as they miss a lot of stuff out.

Nothing. He's scaremongering. I've got 2 AQA endorsed textbooks and neither mention air sacs. My teacher has never mentioned air sacs.

I'm not sure about UMS. But the raw marks to get each grade on past papers are here.

Check the new A-level.

It is a lot better than the actual AQA books, and they hardly miss anything out? I remember they missed a definition for unit 1 but what else do they miss? I'm intrigued.

I would say use your normal textbook and then use the CGP revision guide. I don't use my textbook it's all CGP. :biggrin:
does anyone have this book and is it any good for unit 2?
