I have now, however, been shouted at as I stuck it up on the wall and apparently that will cause damp and ruin the walls :tongue:

I'm not allowed to stick anything on my walls unless its framed :P. How is revision going for you? It seems like you are going to smash unit 5!

It's going quite well I think, how about you?

Hope I do. I'm retaking after I got a D in it last year, and a C, 3 ums off a B, overall

In my defence I spent most of last year in hospital or doped up on pain killers :L

What grade are you aiming for? I'm hoping for an A, A* if I've done well on the isa

Yeah it been going alright! Did very little today though :/. In terms of Biology, I have nearly fully revised coordination and nerves.

That is completely is completely understandable! Its amazing that you are going for an A/A*, and it definitely seems like you will achieve it :biggrin:

! I am going for an A/A*! I've done the ISAs as well, just waiting to hear back the marks from my second! Just worried about the synoptic essay. Got five exams in June :s-smilie:

. How about you?

Core 4, M1, Chem 5, Biol 5 and Phay 5. Physics unit 5 is an absolute nightmare. Cant get myself to open the textbook haha!

Oo don't envy the maths. I did a level maths in 1 year because I hated it and wanted to get it done with. Ended getting a D haha

Physics 5 is evil but luckily I only need a high E to get a B overall :biggrin:

Which of the optional unit are you doing?

I actually like maths! It the one I'm going for A* it, but I probably wouldn't have said that when I did further maths last year. The pace of learning was just to fast that I dropped it within a month or two! Wow, thats really good! I'm not too sure on what I need, given that we do EMPAS in physics :/. I'm doing astrophysics! How about you? I don't think its too bad, just boring :L

Also physics too! I actually enjoy the ACTUAL astrophysics (life of a star etc) but I hate all the lenses stuff -.-

Guys how are you revising for this unit. DNA technology is such a tedious topic and I really dont want to write pages of notes that is already in the book :frown:

Instead of notes try the following:

1.

Work through the relevant sections of the Nelson Thornes book, answering the summary questions as you go. They’re short questions but very probing.

2.

3.

Good luck

Yup. They're 2 topics that seems to come up, plus they covered pretty much most of unit 1 and 2 :smile:
