He predicited soil as the 13th most likely to come up. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say soil is gonna be question 2. Just a guess though! :rolleyes:

Whats the best way to go about answering, using sentences, or bullet points?

Yeah its numerically arranged so that its most predictable to least predicable. So why on earth is soil like last!!! I don't think he has a clue :pac:

Bullet points! And write as much as you can for each answer since we don't know how many marks is assigned for each question so make as many relevant points as possible. Generally at least 4 unless stated otherwise

Anyone expecting carbon or nitrogen cycles to come up? Thinking of leaving them out ?

Id do carbon just to be safe nitrogen came up last year

What about spuds lads? Likely to be asked something on them?

diarmo06

Is there always one expt on soil and one on grasslands in Q4?

The Pheasant2

Is it necessary or even recommended to do a diagram with each experiment? Because it doesn't ask for them in the questions and makes no mention of them in the marking schemes

I would put one in, even if it's just a small quick one. You never know, if you label something on the diagram that's on the marking scheme you could pick up some marks.

Nearly always and if there isn't a soil experiment in Q4 its almost guranteed there'll be one in Q2

Is this from the 2013 pre? Have the marking scheme here, it says "Haylage is grass cut just like hay but instead of being allowed to dry out completely, it is baled when the moisture content is still relatively high (DM 60%)."

It should pay off provided you used your cramming time effectively! And you can always catch up on the sleep during the, I don't know, 2 MONTHS of summer!

Peaceoutdude

Just realised I'm just hoping to pass this exam

Lcstudent2013

Please allow for successful bullsh*ttng!!

I want to be able to come back and report "that was good"!!!

mossy95

Genetics question was diffcult, I'm hoping I just pass

weirdspider

I've gotten A1s on the last 3 mock papers I did and that was quite a bit more difficult! A low A1/A2 maybe some new stuff in question 3a and b so avoided them completely! Meh overall it was fair enough!

woopah92

Nice paper, think I managed to get my A1. I hope so anyway. I really need it.
