    Can you really make predictions for ag science?I know soil,question 1,experiments,scientific notation and genetics is a given but otherwise. I'm hoping for a paper filled with cow and sheep questions. Can't really stand the crop ones

    know soil and genetics because they are definate to be on the paper! after that, at this stage, id say concentrate on a crop and an animal industry so you will be able to answer a fair few questions!

    just remember to read the questions carefully and answer what is being asked
    for example:
    from 2006 Q8

    (ii)Explain the advantages of each of the following in the management of a flock of
    sheep:
    1. Synchronised breeding
    2. Breeding out of season.
    (iii) Describe the feeding of ewes during the final 6-8 weeks of pregnancy and give reasons for
    the changes in feeding regime

    For part (ii) for example do not go into a long explanation of how synchronised breeding and breeding out of season takes place and how it works, the question asks for the advantages of each and that is all.

    and (iii) feeding inthe final 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, so all that stuff about steaming up is irrelevant and moving ewes to lambing crates, and care for the lamb after birth etc. again it's just feeding
