Unit 2:

Unit 4:

For the essay, roughly how many points should we be aiming to make? In the markschemes there are normally 15-20ish points so should we aiming to get around 10 of them, or more?

I was just wondering if Uni's discredit the amount of retakes you take for an exam?

This has probably already been asked, but could the questions be from unit 4 and the AS units? I know the essay is of course. But I haven't done any past papers yet so was wondering if we have to know the other units for the questions too

Nope. Unless its application questions where you might need knowledge of simple things like natural selection etc

I've been writing out plans for possible essay questions and what I would include from each unit so I know what to revise. I've also been revising the topics that come up often. I don't know if this helps?
