Hi i have just completed my access course and am starting coventry uni this sepetember. I did biology and psychology i will admit its not easy but the quality of work expected is good references and evidence to back up what you are saying in your assignments to give more depth and breadth. i achieved full distinctions on my biology units and it was all down to the resources used.
In regards to what units you do, i did Diet and Digestion, Co-ordination and Control, Gas exchange and transport (oxygen and carbon dioxide transporting through body, their purpose and back out through respiratory system), Heredity genetics and protein synthesis (based on DNA how we inherit traits from parents), Organisation of the body and the Musculoskeletal systems.
I completed my course with the online Distance Learning Group, i believe college courses do differ in units to what i have done according to my friends, but the process is the same.
It sounds very scary and intimidating but the books break it all down for you and the better you can explain how and why something is happening the more chance you have of obtaining those Distinctions needed.
I hope this has helped you
Good luck on your course
