AQA Biology new specification

Hi Everyone, does anyone know the difference between biology aqa as level paper 1 and paper 2? Do we need to learn every single topic for both papers?

I am doing the new specification and have an exam tomorrow and I am still very confused...

and Good luck in the biology exam tomorrow!!

You may be tested on anything you've learnt, so on any of the four topics.
There's more of an emphasis on scientific knowledge and understanding in paper 1 and more of an emphasis on applying your knowledge and practicals in paper 2. But you will still need to revise all theory and know procedures of the required practicals for both papers.

I used the different specification points as a checklist to ensure I know everything so you may find that useful.
And good luck!!!
