I haven't touched biology yet. Gotta get thru german oral and english first. and I've basically given up on biol after a disappointing mark for my midyears


so what's everyone been doing to revise???


(if anyone needs practice exams, I have lots  :)  STAV, IARTV, Lisachem, VCAA of course, NEAP, and some other company i can't remember)
