You should probably revise everything.

For anyone struggling in Biology I would recommend using the specification to learn everything and watch cognito + freesciencelessons. Also do a bunch of past papers. I would also recommend using GCSEMastery notes from stuvia (a website) as they are the only one I know that follow the specification accurately. Hope this helps anyone struggling 🙂

it went quite well, at least thats what i think. I might have messed up on the evolution questions because i focused on EVERYTHING ELSE and brushed off evolution as a not important one or that it would max enter 1 question, I was soooo wrong, but I did what i could. The 6 marker about DNA extraction I think i might have gotten 4-5 marks because i forgot to describe DNA and just jumped into the process but everything else i wrote about. I definitely focused on the difficult topics way too much and should have studied a bit of everything 😕 Hopefully I wont make the same mistake for Paper 2
