Well..... we had details from the prepupal stage at 23 celcius which was some hundred time.... so we divide the time by 24 to get the number of days after death. it was about 6 days and 6 minutes so i got the time as 18 september and added the six minutes to time....

In unit 5, The questions are pretty straight forward. You need to know the content very well. Don’t miss out on any topic. Practice past papers.
And for the article, read the whole article, mark the relevant terms you find.
Suppose, If the article talks about proteins go revise the content for proteins i.e its structure etc.
You would need to revise some of the AS content as well for the article part.
This is all i could suggest. But if you could find predicted questions that’d be very helpful.

... the dead body was found around 20th sept 18:00.
and the maximum time required for the stage develop was 145 hours so that means a time of 6 days and 1 hours. 20th sept minus 6 days is 14th Sept and 18:00 - 1;00 is 17:00 hours

14th sept 17;00 hours?
