Biology of cells and organisms

Hey guys!!

Just wondering if anyone has anything for biology exams? Like maybe an actual past exam? Or can give any advice on what might be seen on the exam - after all, they might have recurring questions from past years.

Thanks

Isn't it still a month away??

Maybe i'd slowly start going over past lecture notes and then go hard out when they finished teaching the course

Sigh.. no past exams available. Apparently they are putting up some questions on the discussion forum on the lms for bio, a trial exam will be released just before the actual exam for format as such. But for the moment, tutorial questions and lecture notes (also topic tutorials are good)

Memorize everything on lecture slide because they can only examine based on lecture slide content

It's to do with the control of spermatogenesis in males and the menstruation cycle in females. In 2010, we were asked to draw and explain the pathway in regards to the menstruation cycle.

By extended response, I meant that it's in the part where you have to write an essay. I remember it well because I completely forgot to study it, and failed that question miserably.
