not really, most subjects can be picked up from 3&4 apart from LOTEs

Not at all, I didn't do 1/2 Bio and jumped right into 3/4 Bio as well and I didn't find myself disadvantaged at all.  Experimental technique might be unfamiliar to you, but you'll get used to it quickly.

Bio is generally quite straightforward, lots of memorising and practice exams!

Yeah I'd reckon you would be ok. Reading through the 3/4 textbook, it looks as though it covers the same basic concepts of units 1 and 2 but expands on them a fair bit. So a few things will be unfamiliar, but with a tiny bit of extra work you'd be able to pick it up. It's a lot of memory based stuff, and a fair bit easier than chem...anyways, good luck man, good to see another '09 bio kid as well  :)

its basically all ROTE learning. As long as you have a good textbook and good memory should be ok. No disadvantage at all.

Wouldn't think there would be any disadvantage. Unit Two Biology is almost unrelated to Units 3 and 4 anyway
