OCR A A-Level Biology Biological Processes [7th June 2023] Exam Chat

Has everyone finished all of the content?

Not yet. Currently finishing animal responses then I’m done.

I find that topic the hardest as there's so much to remember

Nah. Have to disagree - I find cellular control the worst.

That's one of my favourite topics . But generally I hate questions about practicals or all the maths application ones which is basically module 1. Even if I practice those I still get them wrong and most of the practicals given are unknown so not something you can learn and remember

Does anyone have any predictions?

Does any have a link for the A-Level Chemistry study group?

Microscopy. All the way. I see a lot of past papers on it.

Don't think they've had anything on laser scanning confocal microscopes so this could be the year. A 6 marker comparing the 3 types of microscopes 🤭

To add to your discussion, I've now finished all the content in lessons. For me, I think animal and plant responses are currently my hardest topics, but I've only just done these so that might be why. Animal responses is way too confusing with all the fancy muscle stuff, and plant responses has been made a lot more difficult by having such a bad teacher last year that we had to teach the whole plant transport to ourselves at home.

I think that topic is indeed pretty bad. I recommend biorach on yt, she explains everything so well.

I feel like there is probably gonna be a 6 marker on some of the biological molecules but honestly I haven't done any of the recent past papers so no clue what even came up recently

Water always turns up, according to my teacher.

Properties of water questions 😍

That came up last year. I did it for mocks
