AQA HUMAN Biology Unit 1 Jan 2012

So how is revision going? Anyone got any tips on what to revise exactly? Or stuff that always comes up/is very likely to come up? Anything.. Literally anything. Haha. Tips on getting an A? I've been getting 3-5% off an A recently and it's driving me mad. They can be really picky on wording! :eek:

Make sure you can do the general how science work questions, most of the mark schemes are similar but can be really badly worded :/

Revision is going well, I have HBIO2 aswell so :tongue:

Ahh thank you :smile: yeah I've found that too, and some of the mark schemes kind of contradicted each other -_- Good luck!

Honestly, just make notes from the text book etc.

Past papers are quite important too. The HSW questions are usually similar mark scheme wise. Just get some work done :smile:.

You'll do fine!

Nope, the only way you can get it is if you buy it if their website :frown: I had to do that for HBIO papers. They're not too bad price-wise. It was like £2.00 for papers and £1.50 for mark schemes. :smile:

You'll do fine, just keep up the past papers! :biggrin:
