I think that it'll be to do with:
- Genetic tree diagrams, because there's always one of those
- Artificial Cloning
- Phagocytosis
- Interdependence and food chains
- Evolution

These are topics which will be on the OCR B1,B2,B3 higher tier, the examiner report shows that these are the weak areas from last years answers.

My teacher predicted that for English lit AQA:

Jekyll and Hyde question won't be on Hyde
Romeo and Juliet won't be on Lord C (rats :colonhash:

)
And Lord of the Flies won't be on Piggy (yay!)

History AQA:
Apparently my teacher said for Hitler's Germany it's likely they're gonna ask about groups who opposed Hitler (E.G Edelweiss Pirates, Kreisau circle, etc) and about how Hitler established a dictatorship (became Fuhrer) rather than how he became chancellor! For roaring 20s, there haven't been many questions on entertainment so apparently that's gonna be a thing. Other than that not really sure! Let me know if possible :tongue:

For the Sciences (OCR) this is the last year on this spec, so do as many past papers as you can because it's just going to be recycled questions!

If anyone has any idea for Psychology OCR, German EDEXL, and English lit poetry, please let me know! Thanks in advance :biggrin:

Thanks for telling me about History. I do History AQA B and we do those topics. The dictatorship question would be nice but the group's opposed to Hitler we didn't go into great depth about so that's going to be disgusting. I don't mind entertainment and stuff for the USA, we practiced that a lot in class.

Oh, not a problem! We didn't go over the opposing groups that much either :/ It's not set in stone but my teachers have been looking at past patterns so we'll have to see if they're correct! Good luck!!

For all sciences I recommend finding a summary powerpoint/video and if there's anything new, or that you dont remember, revise that. Or you could go down the specification and tick everything off, or just look at mark schemes if you want to revise question types.
