tbh paper 1 wasnt too bad, and so far aqa hasnt been too harsh (in my opinion). im honestly praying for a 6 mark question on hormones in fertility and contraceptives bc istg that is the only thing ive learnt

I would go through revision guide if you have one and prioritise the topics you don’t know, read it aloud, write it down for the whole page then blurt it after hope this helps!

For that all you talk about is plants, animals and how everything dies, stick to that and you have 6 marks guaranteed
