Some dihybrid cross work for your Tuesday afternoon - module six isn’t on our mock but I still enjoy the topic as it’s very interesting (even if I hate herbology 🪴)

Hey!
I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've just started my degree in Biology and Psychology and was wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting photos of some of my a level notes? 😊

How to answer A Level Physics questions about practical experiments
Students are often unsure of how to answer questions about practical work. This is a brief guide to the main points that should be covered in order to adequately describe the procedure to be followed. The categories included below are based on various exam markschemes I have encountered over ten years teaching physics. They are not intended to be a specific formula for any particular exam specification. Students should always read the question carefully and address any specific points raised.
Try to include most or all of the following points. This looks like a lot of work but most of these can be covered very briefly.
EQUIPMENT
o   Labelled diagram
o   List any equipment not shown in diagram
METHOD
o   What measurements do you need to take?
The actual physical measurements (i.e. diameter NOT cross-sectional area)
o   What equipment will you use to take each measurement?
Mention it, even if it’s something as obvious as using a ruler to measure length.
o   Range and values
E.g. “Load spring with 100g masses in 10 stages up to a maximum of 1kg.”
o   Repeats
Take 3 repeats and calculate mean if possible.
For Hooke’s Law/Young’s Modulus experiments, repeat readings for loading and unloading.
For small readings, measure in large multiples to reduce %-uncertainty (e.g. record time taken for 10 or 20 pendulum swings and then divide by 10 or 20 to calculate time period)
o   What calculations do you need to do?
(e.g. halve diameter to find radius then A =πr² for cross-sectional area)
RESULTS
o   This is nearly always a GRAPHICAL method, not just subbing one set of results into an equation.
o   What will you put on each axis?
Something you measured (e.g. current) or something you calculated from your measurements (e.g. resistance)
o   What do you need to read from the graph?
Gradient? (nearly always!)
Intercept? (occasionally!)
Something else, like checking for a straight line through the origin (indicating proportionality)
o   Any further calculations?
E.g. Is your gradient the final “answer” or do you need to multiply/divide by a constant to get the value you’re looking for?
HEALTH & SAFETY
o   This doesn’t seem to be on the mark scheme so much these days but if there’s something obvious like wearing eye protection then mention it – can’t hurt!

Quick q
Would anyone be interested in summary posts for AS Biology, Chemistry, English Lit or Psych? Because I might make some as a way of revising and recapping material, but if any specific topics are wanted, I can probs do most of them!
(For English Lit it would be on the tempest, 1984, streetcar and Rossetti as that’s what I’ve studied)

Hi, I’ve just finished my OCR History A-level and thought I’d share my tips on how I managed it!
Learning content
Before you can right amazing essays, you need to actually know what you’re writing about so you need to memorise information. Use this post to find out how I memorise information. However, different modules will require different levels of depth of information, so make sure to look at your specification to find out what’s a depth study and what is synoptic. Use this to your advantage to make sure you’re not learning any more facts than you could potentially need!
Getting the technique
Look at candidate exemplars that have scored highly and work out how they’ve been so successful, then try to use this structure in your own writing. Also look at low-scoring candiate exemplars to find out what not to do! Your teacher should give you a guide on how to structure answers to different questions for each paper.
Main tips - areas to focus on
The main thing to focus on with history is giving the examiners what they’re looking for; answer the question explicitly, lay out your answer clearly, give relevant own knowledge and use sound English to give your answer so it’s easy to understand.
Focus on keeping up with your note-taking and make essay plans so that when exams roll around, your’e not struggling to find notes from 1.5 years ago at the start of the course! Stay organised and on top of the content, without neglecting exam technique!
Good luck!

2/1 starting as I mean to go on. Finished writing up my chemistry notes and managing to answer 6 markers at least half decently but it's more than I could do before! Hoping to do some bio as well today. Quite productive so far to say I didn't get up till 11 😂 Have a good day guys! (Yes I have the BuzzFeed unsolved marathon on in the background)

Biggest tip I can give is use squared paper for mind maps (this is more of a mind storm but the same thing applies) I hope everyone is ready for their exams!

Well this past year has been such a flop and mess am I right?
Last time I updated I was prepping for my UCAT and choosing universities I wanted to study medicine at, well now I have interview offers for all my places and have just received news about our exams. But I’d like to restart this and use it to motivate myself to keep going throughout the hectic times. Sound good?
So here’s some updates:
I scored 2720 on my UCAT, the best I’d ever done
I applied to HYMS (5 & 6 year), nottingham and Lincoln and received interviews for all 4!
I have already completed my HYMS interviews and my dual interview for Lincoln and notts is in a few weeks
I didn’t drop any subjects, I’m predicted AABB, which I’m fine with
A-levels are cancelled so have no clue what will happen.
So today will be day one of 180 days of productivity, that doesn’t mean purely revision and there won’t be a quantity each day: but there will be SOMETHING
Today I have my first bio lesson back, we went over respiration which I really struggled with at first but I’m getting to grips with now ❤️
Roll on psych tomorrow!
