aqa biology practical knowledge?

For our written exams I know we need to know some practical knowledge but what exactly do we need to learn? Is revising the bio practical handbook enough or do you think a more indepth understanding of a practical like its flaws, improvements, theory behind it, equipment enough? would we ever be asked to write out a method? thanks for any help!

You need to know all of that stuff. Being asked how to conduct an experiment, how to improve it etc are all par for the course for the written papers.
