Whilst I have finished with F212, I'm more than happy to bounce questions off each other.

Equally, if anyone has anything they require clarifying then ask! :biggrin:

Nice.. prehaps you could drop by in my F214 thread and we could revise a little. It's awfully quite.

Hi,
I'm doing the F212 biology exam in June. I got a B in F211 when I did it in January. I am aiming for at least an A and I was wondering if anyone had any useful revision tips? :smile:

just practice questions thats the most useful thing as you see what language the examiners and want and since questions are reused a lot it is very helpful

they word the question in very odd way

I often feel that they are not specific enough in the question but yet the mark shemes demand such specific answers

They like giving general questions as they make you think and apply what you know and usually the mark scheme has many valid points to cover a range of answers :smile:

I like those questions

So is learning the mark schemes a useful way of revising?

Definitely, i got 100% in my January exam and that would not have happened if I had not done loads of past questions and learnt the answers i got wrong from the mark scheme as about 10 marks out of 60 were exactly repeated questions :P

I'll have a closer look at the mark schemes. Does anyone have any predictions as to what topics are more likely to appear in the f212 exam?

DNA, enzymes, and evolution and classification as they didn't come up much in the january paper, I think it will be light on the food and health and heavy on the biodiversity
