hi everyone, it's kind of scary seeing these being made now it's made me realise how close exams are now! currently I'm aiming for an A, the topics I'm probably struggling on are control of water potential and meiosis :smile:

Anyone have any advice on how to revise for practical stuff ?

Hi! I did my a-level last year and managed to predict like 10 questions and had made a little plan for each of them. Surprisingly 2 of those 10 were the 2 questions on the exam!!! What I did was make a list of all the past qs on the new spec and then i found a list of essay qs from the old aqa spec all the way back to like 2007 or something like that. I realised that some of them had been repeated within the new spec. So i picked out the most relevant ones to the new spec and made plans for those. So there's a chance that one of those could come up this year. Hope this helps!!

If you type into google "biology essay titles 2007" then an AQA website pdf should come up

Who Knows! But those titles haven't come up yet in the new spec so hopefully at least one of them would. But there are aren't any guarantees 😔
it could be possible, why else would she predict them. actually maybe to make money lol but we will see
