Same day!!!! AQA Biology Unit 2 and 3

Do you think it is going to be hard having them on the same day?
Are you allowed to leave the room to look at some notes after the first one?

Yeah, do we start the Unit 3 paper straight away after finishing the Unit 3?

I did it last year and we did them one after another, we had a 5 minute break in between B2&3 to go to the toilet if we wished but we had to go with an invigilator otherwise we were not allowed to leave the room, had to stay in our seats and remain in silence

B3 I got nearly full marks (I think I was 1 mark of full UMS if I remember properly) ALL my unit 3's went better than my unit 2&1's

Yep we can't leave the exam hall! They literally hand us B3 after we have finished B2.

Yeah all my 3's were a lot easier but that's because I enjoyed unit 3 the most

I had this in June 2014 (still can't believe AQA haven't sorted the timings out - at least you do unit 1 before unit 2 and 3 because we did unit 2 and 3 first) but yeah, they pretty much collect up the exam papers and hand out the next ones immediately after

Yeah same unit 3 is definitely the most interesting, unit 2 is alright and unit 1 is a pile of ****.

What's the major difference in medicine and biomedicine, if you dont mind me asking? Is it more patient contact in medicine?

Biomedicine is very much like medicine but without the patient contact element. So a lot of it is very similar but your career would be focused most likely in the labs whereas with medicine you become a doctor
