Practical Reports

Hello!
While there is rightly a huge amount of emphasis in preparing for exams and strategies for exams,
an often somewhat neglected (and part I feel weak in) is Practical Sac's and the way's to achieve highly on these!
Writing up a practical report and carrying out a practical in class is much more stressful than self conducted experiments at home where there are plethorical amounts of time to carry them out.
What tips and advice do you have, and methodolgies for writing A+ practical reports in a limited time frame?
:)
Advice will be appreciated!

Given the format of MHS' Biology SACs, write yourself a killer intro at home, and use your intro as a cheat sheet itself. I pretty much attempted to summarise all of whatever was relevant for that SAC from the textbook, and brought it in. This meant I could pretty much answer any question that came up. Also, make sure you think about all the possible errors and ways to remedy them before the SAC. A question on that is obviously going to come up. Biggest part where I lost marks was presenting data, so try to present your graphs cleanly and with labelled axes etcetc.
