Biology Assessments
Time management
Paper 4
-
Don't write too much in your answers, as it wastes time and you won't get more marks then the question is worth
Skip questions that you can't do and come back to them later. Spending too much time on a question will waste precious time.
You have 75 minutes to do 80 marks worth of questions, it is the most time constrained paper.
Paper 6
-
Do not write an excessive amount of words on the longer questions, they require less writing than you would think.
This is especially true for the investigation questions
-
Paper 2
-
-
Skip questions if you must, but Paper 2 has the easiest questions.
Question-focus
Describe - the candidate should give a description of either something that is present on the paper (shown through pictures, graphs or tables, or told through text) or a biological idea which the candidate should have an idea of; the candidate must only describe the thing at hand - they do not need to explain it unless it helps them describe it.
Suggest - the candidate should describe statements which are applicable to the topic at hand; an explanation may be required depending on the type of suggestion being asked for - suggest things or suggest why/what/how.
Outline - another way of telling the candidate to describe, though usually relating to a greater scale (describing an entire biological process for example).
Explain - the candidate should give an explanation of either something that is present on the paper (shown through pictures, graphs or tables, or told through text) or a biological idea which the candidate should have an idea of; the candidate must only explain the thing at hand - they do not need to describe it unless it helps them explain it.
