    Impossible to predict, basically everything comes up every year! But focus on the things that come up as full questions each year:

    - Ecology
    - Photosynthesis
    - Respiration
    - Genetics

    Also, enzymes for experiment is always a good one. Viruses/immunology a hot tip cos of swine flu.

    • ecology/food
    First off, learn ur ecology and food - ur crazy if u dont!!
    • Respiration
    • Photosynthesis
    • Enzymes
    • Dna
    • Genetic crosses
    • Genetic engineering
    • Evolution
    I listened to the "Getting it right" podcast on biology - The guy said Unit 1&2 are 80% ! ! !
    Download it, its free :)

    Unit 3 - study what you enjoy

    But cover :
    • Division of org
    • All plants
    • Human reproduction
    • Kidney - comes up every 2nd year - due up this year
    After that, its a lottery

    Exps - Enzyme immob. ,Dna , osmosis ,pulse rate


    good luck!!

    Start with the larger more popular topics first and then work back.

    Experiments are big because they account for an entire section of the exam and if you learn your experiments you get a really good return from your work because they're usually thrown into parts of long and short questions too.

    There should be 2 long questions from unit 1, 2 from 2 and 2 from 3 so don't just learn the majority of unit 3 because its the largest section.

    Enzyme experiments are always popular.

    There has always been a long Q on genetics so far and comes into short Q
    Onion DNA was on one of the mock papers

    Ecology is easy so far has always been a long Q

    Photosynthesis and respiration, one or both together make up a long Q.

    Usually plant or human reproduction is on it.

    Do human systems like circulatory, excretion, breathing, lymph, nutrition

    Some people seem to think that the ear will be coming up, not sure but can't hurt to learn a few points on it anyway.

    That's all I can think of:)
