AQA Biology A2 Unit 4 Revision Thread

Just thought it'd be nice to have a revision thread like last year. I know it's over a month until the exam, but most people are revising now.

How's everyone finding it? I have no idea how I'm going to remember photosynthesis :frown:

Oops, sorry, didn't realise this was in the wrong forum!

So, is no one revising then?

Like I told you yesterday...

Biology is best done with practicals, let's experiment. :hump2:

OP, there is already a big massive thread going with some resource materials and useful links, have a look for it or I can post you a link if you Quote/PM me. :smile:

Good luck. :biggrin:

Haha, I have a mock on Thursday, judging from the past papers we did in class today, I really need to revise photosynthesis (and respiration, actually).

But, I hate this entire unit, so I'm avoiding it... Actually, I'm avoiding all revision, but I should really revise biology/ecology.

I don't mind this unit personally. Slightly boring in comparison to the following unit, but it's not that difficult. It's just getting down to revision that's the difficult bit.

That's why I can't stand it - it's so boring, no awesome human biology... :frown:

Oh well, mindmaps and brightly coloured pens will help!

You should have finished a month ago, and at least done one practical ISA/EMPA... :biggrin:

EMPA is March onwards only? No?

Yeh I think we should have finished a while back aswell, I mean we've finished chemistry unit 4 :confused:

havent done a single experiment (aside from the ISAs) since starting GCSE biology.

Still, I can ace the exams without revising, purely because of the way we get taught, so its a trade off.

Thats amazing but only 1/3 of the paper is knowing the facts the rest is application.
How do you get taught?
