Right I am going to get that for sure then! :biggrin:

Thanks for you input :biggrin:

The text book is really bad at explaining things

Yeah, all I'm going to use is the CGP book from now on, supported by past papers.

I'm kinda worried after seeing how much revision everyone has done! XD I did all of my homework last week and was planning to do revision this week but I can't think of where to start. Last year I did a total of about 10 hours of revision across 5 AS subjects and somehow got 5 As, but I have a feeling I won't be as lucky this time :/

On average, about 15 minutes a day which is disgusting considering I have 8 A2 exams to revise for :frown:

Yeah it's a good book, my day was okay, did 4 hours, but it was slow work haha, this should be the one to get: http://www.amazon.co.uk/AS-Level-Biology-Complete-Revision-Practice/dp/1847621228/ref=dp_ob_title_bk :smile:

I'm not sure about the one you ordered though, I read the spec of your one, says it was published in 2004?

On the link I sent you, click "look inside" to look at the contents and its all the spec, right there :smile:

Don't overload yourself on school nights bud, I will probably go back doing 2 hours, as I will be doing work at school as well. 3 papers is a lot haha, more than I have done on a school night. What did you get for F211 btw? :smile:

Mine is being remarked as we speak...

Really? Oh I sat mine in January, it's not so bad :rolleyes:

, the paper in Jan was different to all the past papers, gave everyone a shock. If you can get your hands on it then that would be great, some trick questions were asked in that paper. My remark should go up 3-5 marks though (fingers crossed!) haha.

But you got 87UMS?:O

Yea, all my exams were very different in january

That's what really worries me about summer

I think the exam boards are really doing there best to make exams as different as possible from past papers from some absurd reasons

:frown:

It really sucks ass
