Thank you so much! I had no idea this existed:smile:


No worries.
How is everyone revising for the exam? Any predictions on the essay question?

Just made Unit 2 notes so far, I have 2 weeks between chem and bio so that's where I'll be doing most my studies. My focus is on chem and maths atm. wbu

Need a B but mainly aiming for an A as well. For revision I'm just doing all the past papers available and making a few notes on the more confusing topics.
Anyone still to do their Unit 2 Assessment?
There is soooo much to learn in Bio this year

I find unit 2 (like topics 3/4) the most complex


wbu guys?

Unit 2 is probably the most interesting but the virus stuff is pretty difficult, I prefer unit 2 over unit 1.

Hahahhaha i remember you! How'd the med process go? I'm thinking about the year out now.

Bio wise, I hate unit 2. So much to remember. Screew that, we have unit 3 as well!!!! So annoying

Unit 3 i think will be straightforward questions like u can see from last year. Should be some in there i would think

I'm on one waiting list but that's probably not going to amount to anything, wbu and yeah same here.
Im focusing on maths and chem atm, but once they're done I'm spending 2 weeks on biology (I've already went over unit 2 and 3, so I need to go over unit 1 again and then I'm hitting the pastpapers).

Oh wow that's still better than me! Good job on getting on the waiting list :smile:

Yeah i got all 4 rejections without interview unfortunately. Idk wtf happened but ah well.

My problem is chemistry rn. If I focus on math, chem is out the window but chem needs more time. BUT chem is after maths..ARRRGRHHHH

I've only been switching between maths and chem atm, but biology is going to be intensely revised in those 2 weeks. Sadly, I didn't get any interviews either.
Exam timetable isn't great this year ngl :/ but in 2 weeks time we'll be in a position to just focus on bio which is the best subject. :smile:

Seriously? I HATE BIOLOGY :frown:

I unfortunately got in a idgaf mood after the whole uni process and am now doing as much math revision as possible in 1.5 weeks. Then 2 days for chemistry... TWO DAYS, then biology.

How you finding chem. Unit 2 is impossible cos of the synthesis for me. So much drawing and i cba with that !!!!

I'm in the same boat as well. Need to revise Maths but my chem is sooo bad right now. Fortunately I don't really need chem this year now so I can afford to do badly if I can get better at the rest, and the most I need is a C anyway. Good luck.
I dont need this subject anymore so I'm dropping it as its not in my offer. What a relief. Can focus on my offer subjects now :biggrin:

Yeah, I hit a brick wall after my ucas application went down the drain, but bio is my only good subject this year tbh - I hate maths and chemistry is ok.
I love the agonist/antagonist stuff in Unit 2 because I did that at higher human bio :smile:
Yeah I'm cramming for maths tbh, :frown:

I've applied for Medical Imaging, also known as Diagnostic Radiography and have a conditional offer :smile:

I put in a lot of hard work for this subject for my assignment but i'd much rather pass the subject that is in my offer and get into university than spend a lot of time revising for Biology, it's such a chunky course as well. However, at least I still have the background knowledge which will come in handy at university. :smile:

Yesss, I've always wanted to be in the medical field (doctor, biomed, radiograpy etc.) so I'll be heading down that route as well. However, I'm not sure where I'm heading atm but I'd like atleast a B in biology. Biology is by far the chunkiest course I study lool. The scholar notes are so wordy :frown:
