Go over the cell biology from unit 1 (parts of cells, DNA, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, etc.) :) That should do it :)

I picked up 3/4 and just started aos1 early(couple weeks before school) so I understood key words, and I just stayed ontop of my work and I love it. Consistent 90%+ sacs.. So really unit1/2 isn't essential

Also, unit 2 Biology contains neurons, stimulus-response models and negative feedback models which are in the Unit 3 course.

Thanks guys :) So far I've gotten Excellent in each SAC, meaning at least a 90% in each result. My study score has been flawless so far, but I can't help but feel that it's just gonna get worse from here!

Read the study design, the overlaps in 1+2 and 3+4 aren't as common as you think, plus the concepts are simple, so if your going well so far then you should be fine.

Most the overlaps are also retaught, as long as you know your basics you should be fine.

You're already half way in, if you haven't had many problems so far, why should you in the next half?
