    Heh..ag science eh. Is that as easy as they say.

    I noticed last year they showed a pic of a snail and asked what animal is this :D
    and that was higher level.

    Ok so it was the first quest but really, it insults our intelligence

    Actually its the same as all subjects, and i wonder did you know that you also had to name the phylum the snail belongs to? Plus there's loads of invertebrates tolearn off in that section.

    Dude,ag science is so not as easy as people think,theres so much stuff you need to know,like it goes into genetics almost as much as biology does.You need to know lots to be good at it.Otherwise its a fairly interestin subject,you learn important things,like holding conversations with farmers in the pub!
    Back to the topic at hand,yeah it would be fairly risky to leave out the whole section.If its too much for ya to learn,just try to get the gist of it,then you can always bull**** your way through the question

    i absolutely love the subject, its so interesting and easy to learn, even though i have never actually sat at a desk and memorised pages, it just comes so naturally and if i get stuck on a quest, i think what wed do at home!Bogger at heart i know.....
    we never did much plant biology, but i suppose doing biology made up for that. its handy the way they overlap.has anyone any ideas or hints?we were told the liverfluke, grass, barley/sugarbeet, pigs.

    oh Trish dont worry about those notes honestly, i kinda made out some form of my own during the weekend, just the essentials to get me through the question if it landed good for me!thanks so much for offering though!

    I think its synchronisation. Ag. Science is definitely not an easy subject, you have to be quite specific with details and a lot of it is very similar to the biology course. I don't usually predict, but I think the nitrogen cycle will come up in some form, cereal crops as a full question and possibly an incomplete dominance genetics question.
