Igcse cie Biology paper 3

I am doing paper 3 tomorrow. Just started doing pratice papers and am freaking out as I thought I had it all under control only to realise I don't know everything in the detail I should know. Any suggestions how to best cram everything in 24 hours????

That paper 3 was HORRIBLE!!! Who else had the one where you had to say what were the names of the labels in the cross section of the blood vessel?! Dang, that part was incredibly difficult, at first I thought it was a white blood cell but then I read "Vessel"...Also the greenhouse emission from cattle question, that was pretty confusing!! I hope Cambridge lowers the boundaries :/
Time was also my enemy... :angry:

I'M SERIOUSLY FREAKING OUT! :biggrin:

I'm pretty sure I did paper 3 (31) but I didn't have any labeling! I may have done the wrong paper, it was meant to be paper 31! Was your first question on a photosynthesis experiment?

That was paper 41 (the same paper but extended, in other words "higher tier" so you can get an A* on paper 41.) That was the worst paper I have ever done in my life. There was a question on "the government having problems as the price of stock for fish has risen" and we had to find ways of making it cheaper. WTF! The paper was irrelevant and had little of which was on the syllabus. Who else did this awful paper???
