    At this stage I find myself waiting for Eoin Jackson to predict more things for my subjects, rather than studying different topics myself. Anybody in a similar position?

    The dodgy music in his videos is enough of a reason not to watch them.

    The fact he has predicted that photosynthesis won't come up as a long question is killing me because I actually spent time on it as I thought it was definite.

    Do any of you know how accurate his predictions have been in the past?
    I heard from a few people that his predictions in general in 2011 were way off the mark... I hope people aren't relying too heavily on him :)

    would u say they might be a bit more lenient when marking if it was well presented because it would be easy for them to find the answers instead of looking for them ?

    No not really, its just that if your messy it could make you do worse. Like if youre messy and they cant read something you wrote you wont get marks for it. Neatness wont get you marks but its definitely the way to be! Everything helps in these exams

    I'm not depending on his predictions just more so perfecting the topics he suggested but still being able yo talk about anything else which may come up.. My grind had a feeling that fungus could come up in biology so learn it just I case lads
