British Biology Olympiad 2014

Are people spending a lot of time revising for this? The people doing it at my college just try it without wasting their time revising for it.

You can review what you covered at AS and what you've done at A2, however for me, a lot of the stuff on the exam was stuff that we hadn't even covered so the majority was guesswork! It really is up to you if you want to go to the next round etc etc!

I do it on Friday but I looked at a past paper and a lot of it seems to be fairly random stuff so I'm not bothering to revise I'd rather focus on revising for my biology exam so I do as well as last year
How do you think it went?

I guess revising for this is the same as revising for A2, as they ask a mix of as and A2

There's no use revising its pretty damn hard!

That's hopeful :P
How long did it take? Did you use all the 2hrs?

Do you think there are questions that are designed so we're meant to use initiative to work it out, or are we actually expected to know it? I don't want to say any of the answers in case the admins start crying about it and I get penalised.

I did it today, does anyone have any idea as to when we'll hear back? And also, what mark was required to proceed to the second round for the preceding years?

I did the 2010 paper and I felt like crying, got 38 this one was much better. Thinking the mark to proceed to the next round'll increase? Anyone else...?

Ehh kinda a bit of both. I sat it recently, it was pretty damn hard. With quite a broad knowledge of Biology, you'll be able to quite confidently tell a lot of answers that are not right, so through a process of elimination you can pick the most likely answer.

it is quite hard.
