Edexcel A2 Biology Unit 5 (6BIO5) - 22/06/2011- OFFICIAL THREAD !

Does anyone have the examiners report for Unit 5 June 2012? The damned Edexcel website won't let me access it.

By the way, try and calculate your bedtime so you wake up just after a sleep cycle has finished, so you don't feel like a zombie, and can read through some notes before the exam!
I've been using http://sleepyti.me/ for this, but you can calculate it yourself, since a sleep cycle lasts 90 mins.

That was slightly random, hopefully it helps someone though

You know the ways lol

It's useful for the future. Though I'm going to spend tonight cramming- done a bit more than half the content now. **** the pre release article as well. Just adds to the heap of stuff I need to do

Can someone explain spirometers to me and how to answer spirometer question. I know things like calibration and breath air in and out and there's a needle and things like that but actual questions like calculating stroke volume, I am SO CONFUSED.

I felt slightly less horrible when I woke up, but it might just be the placebo effect :tongue:
