I know that, despite my full half-term of revision Biology, I've done badly in them. Mechanics 2 wasn't peachy, either.

Bio breakdown: Module 3 (Transport) was first, and I think that of all of them I did best in this one - though that's probably just false security. Module 2 (Genes and Genetics) was much the same - but in question 7a, the 6-marker, I wrote a lovely hit-all-the-points answer about creating transgenic bacteria. Too bad that the question was asking about the PCR, which I know next to nothing about. I just bulked it out with a sample log equation... Module 1 (Foundation), the retake, was the worst, I think.

Afterward, my brain was so fried that I couldn't revise - such a headache, with stingy eyes... I should have got a heyfever note.

Mechanics breakdown: M1 was lovely - the exams conditions were lovely. There were only two columns of us, all 6th Form, and it was so hot that I wasn't fevery. I was hyperventillating at the beginning though. XD

M2 was a monster. Same conditions, only there was only two of us, but the exam! I could do questions 3 and 4 all the way - question 1 I don't think that I finished properly, question 2 I finished in the last 20 mins, and questions 5, 6, and 7 I drew force diagrams and jotted, having absolutely no idea what to do.

Well, M2 is an A2 module. My first, actually. And the fact that I could do almost half is a good sign, right? Meh. There's always January.




Chemistry 'Ch&R' and 'HF, HF' tomorrow. My best subject - but I haven't looked at it yet. So after this is posted, and I've checked my email again, it's revision time!

Oh, and BTW - new Ouran icon! (WIP)

Biology, that retake was eaaaaaaassssy! I'm sorry but it was.

PCR, I revised so I got it all right. It was quite easy you just had to describe the different stages of it. I could swear the question had "PCR" in it?

It did. My mind just decided that 'explain the process of the PCR, and how many copies are produced' meant 'explain the process of creating transgenic bacteria, and how many copies are produced'. I think that I wilfully answered the question that I wanted to be there instead of the one that was actually there. XD

The retake was all right... I had spent most of the day before on Transport systems, though, and ended up just relying on what I knew from before.
