Yeah there's too much content in BY2. And some of it doesn't even come up even after 3 papers. Like the dentition questions. Im more hopeful for BY4 and BY5. I literally started revising them since september, something I did not do for any subjects last year.

Expect extended response questions. By that i mean 4-5 markers (like on BY1). It's cause people started complaining to WJEC that there are too many short structured questions in biology. I suggest learning all the key points for each topic. Do every past paper and learn what each marking point is. There are no shortcuts

hey guys, as wjec is changing the sylabus for next academic year, does think they may repeat many questions from past papers, instead of going to the trouble of creating newer and harder ones ?

oh right. i didnt know that. just i remember my teacher going on at how important doing every single past paper as she doubts they would go to too much trouble since they have had to write out a whole new academic sylabus for next school year ?
