I couldn't already see an A2 Biology thread however I noticed there was an AS Biology thread so here it is ..
For those who want to either discuss A2 Biology, or even need help
Past Papers: (Specifications are also available using these links)
AQA : http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/scien...d-mark-schemes
OCR : http://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications...ogy-h021-h421/
Edexcel : http://www.edexcel.com/quals/gce/gce...s/default.aspx

SYNOPTIC ESSAY PACK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iprbtmo7vh...0Pack.pdf?dl=0
The following Youtube channel contains very good walkthroughs of fully explained Biological mechanism relevant in A2 Biology:

I also have a PDF copy of a guide to writing the synoptic essay containing examples which have gained full marks, so PM me your email and I will be happy to send it
I also have 'exampro' but only for AQA, which I would also be happy to send to anyone who PM's me their email

You're welcome

Can someone please help me with this question?
'The increase in productivity when manure was applied was lower than for other forms of nitrogen fertiliser. This is ecause the manure has to break down before its nitrogen is released and this process takes a few months. How might a farmer who spreads manrue on his/her crops, use this information in order to improve productivity?'

Can it be taken by university students?
Can it be taken by university students?
"It is hoped that competing in the Olympiad will encourage students already interested in this valuable, wide-ranging and rewarding subject to continue their study beyond A-level."
And "Round 1 - a two hour multiple choice paper taken online in schools between January 31st and February 6th"
Still, no harm in asking them to clarify!

I'd encourage all any any students, interested in taking a biology-based degree to seriously consider the olympiad.
