ROFL u owned that shit man! congrats i got a B+ for bio reckon i could pull out a 40? btw i hate probability man any tips on how to own it? plus i got a SAC on integration and differientiation any tips?
Its a bit off-topic but oh well, we're here to learn.

Tips:
KNOW THAT the antiderivative of sinx is indeed -cosx, and all the variations to this
You might get a
a) "derive this" (most likely a product function)
b) hence determine the antiderivative of 'that'
eg. a) derive x^2(logex)
(The answer is 2xlogex + x)
b) hence antiderive 5x(logex). Know the simple algebraic manipulations

log recognition is pretty popular for examining
whenever you get a fraction comprising of two functions, check to see if the top function is the derivative of the bottom
this is really a time saver in most cases where people attempt to solve it

in general:
KNOW THE FORMULAS back to front (dont get confused between deriving and antideriving in the case of n+1 or n-1 powers)
read the questions carefully, tricks are placed to determine the smart from the smartest

know the chain rule for rates (also know formulas for spheres, cones, cylinders, etc)

area between curves, etc. (dont forget you subtract an area of its under the x axis)

also try to simplify as much as possible, take out common factors etc. anything to reduce possible algebraic screw ups cos you know thats embarassing
last but definitely not least, check your batteries (take a spare, there have been countless times where i've seen people fail sacs due to their calc dying)

EDIT: btw dont take this as a checklist i know i've missed out on a lot of content

do alot of practice questions.
preferably from cambridge checkpoints or A+ studynotes, just find as many diff. questions as possible and do them, make it become second nature so the majority of the sac can be completed in autopilot..
and yeah, wiht a high A upwards and good sac marks u can easily pull of a 40 in bio... i got very low A+ on the first exam, boredring on A, and managed to do ok..

how many marks did you lose for bio last year, like on the exams???

lmao, i've always waited for someone to pick up on my BS initials haha.  probably because i talk a lot of it. :p

A+ for both chem and bio, but I wont be content until i see the statements of marks.  bio is looking pretty dicey.

but wow, full marks on bio exam 2, that is amazing.  hopefully i can do something similar. :S

I'm sure you can.. I'm counting on you to get an amazing score in bio since I can't... Ok? So you better be getting close to full marks on end year :O

I got a 73 though, so im happy :)
