Out of curiosity, how many of you are tracking your hours of revision? I've found setting a target amount of hours per week and tracking it in a spreadsheet has really motivated me! :smile:

Can anyone answer this question (biology aqa AS)
a sample of epithelial tissue from the small intestine of an animal was analysed some of the cells had 8.4 units of DNA others only had only 4.2 units

Maybe some of the DNA in some cells had just replicated and so the units had been doubled (the Interphase stage) - that is what I think.

Did 2 C4 papers today, rates of change questions are annoying :frown:

I'll practice them more another time. On the bright side, I'm getting better at vectors!

Oh, that's good! Hm, I might try it out on Monday - maybe it'll also help to see which subjects I should be spending more time on/whether I'm balancing things.

Finallyyyyyy managed to get myself to do a half-decent amount of work. -.-

- Finished my stupid essay, just need to copy it out in pen since my teacher prefers it to be handwritten rather than emailed + whatnot so I'll do that just before I go to bed.
- Completed and Marked a C1 June 2013 past paper - 72/75. Lost marks bc I apparently forgot to finish the arithmetic sequence question.
- Completed + have written my notes for the partial fractions section of C4 maths.

Yeah, not overly happy with my productivity levels today or this past week tbh. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit more fun, I''m going to try and wake up early so I can get some work done since I feel like I'm behind atm and just.. :argh:

lol that essay's been bugging you for ages :biggrin:

& well done :five:

are you aiming for an A* too by any chance? I feel the same to be quite frank :frown:

, going to have to follow the timetable more strictly next week

I haven't attempted a single A2 Biology past paper from the AQA website as of yet bc I haven't completed what I need to do. In all our exams at school we are given made up ones and I found the application questions which were presented to us incredibly difficult too. After I've finished my current biology revision, I'll do a past paper to see if I've improved in anyway and whether this technique works for me. :s-smilie:

Are you doing A2 biology/ just revised in advanced haha? :smile:

Revising Biology now. Good luck to everyone with their exam revision.

Same here. :frown:

What A levels are you doing?

Anyone got any tips for revising Macroeconomics? I'm fine with Micro because I revise around the diagrams, but I struggle a lot more with Macro.

Yes. I think it's something to do with 8.4 = DNA already replicated at start of prophase or you could possibly get away with saying any stage other than telophase/ interphase.

thus 4.2 = DNA not replicated because cells are in interphase or maybe have just divided via mitosis?

Please check, I'm not 100% sure as this is from what I remember,
hope this helps at all :smile:

The balancing definitely helps as well! I found I was spending 25% more time on Philosophy than anything else

Can you please explain this. I am in Nigeria so I'm not sure whether the timings will correlate. Also I'm not on half term yet, I'm starting my mock 2 examinations tomorrow so after that (2 weeks after) I'd have the break but my school is having an easter retreat, so when do you think this timetable will work?

You're most welcome! :h:

Feel free to ask me if you are stuck in bio (or any other subjects - if I'm doing them :tongue:

)
