I think biology in general as an exam is horrible... why they don't give us for example 10 topic tittles and say its gonna be 2 of these rather than good luck with figuring out 4/5 random things that will link to this. And the maths?! Don't even get me started on that 🤣

Youtube is honestly the best resource I can find for essays. I don't really know how to link them together - gonna wait till closer to the time and then go through it.

no but if you figure it out please let us know as I could do with learning this. Shame no one seems to go through the past papers on YouTube as least then we could sort of figure it out. The mark schemes are useless for maths.

how are you all revising? I'm looking for better ways to revise as I feel like I forget everything right now

Definitely going through a some sort of brain fog right now. I like flashcards for biology, never find note taking useful somehow.
is there somewhere where we can see all the 5/6 markers that have come up previously?

What did they do?
they bombarded them with 6 markers even one on magnification calculation
like i did aqa for gcses and yeah they do love 6 markers but by the looks of it alot said the pastpapers were much better than this years idk
im acc trying for a level bio but im struggling to remember so much i even do a level religious studies and you can imagine the amount of content you gotta memorize
who knows maybe them unleashing their anger on the gcse kids might be of good for us idk or maybe not
at this point you only got yourself to grind and do well
even though this subject is pretty much hell
