Year 12
How to Revise
There are a few things that you can do to make your
revision for the Christmas Exams as effective as possible.
Revision Environment:
You should try to make sure you have good surroundings
when you are trying to revise.
Find a quiet place so you don’t get distracted
Make sure you are sitting comfortably
Keep background noise a minimum e.g. TV, radio.
Make sure the area is well lit so you don’t strain your eyes.
Revision plan:
It is suggested that making a revision plan helps some people to revise more
effectively. Included in this pack you will find a suggested revision timetable.
You can download more copies off the school website.
Make a list of all your exam subjects and try to assign an amount of time
needed for each subject. For example if there is an area that you find
difficult, then maybe you should give more time to this subject.
Revise often and try to do a bit everyday.
Break your revision time down – aim to study each subject for no more
than 15-20 minutes at a time.
Include time off and breaks in your revision plan. Aim to take a 5 minute
break after every session.
Remember to include variety in your plan – not only in the subjects you
revise but also the techniques you use.
Revision techniques:
Here are a few ideas as to how you can revise most
effectively.
Create memory aids such as diagrams or
mnemonics (e.g. for the order of colours in the
rainbow:
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
- Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain).
Write key facts on pieces of cards and display
them around your house or even on the way to school.
Study with someone at home or with a friend and test each other’s
knowledge
Remember to reward yourself. Use rewards as incentive to do the
revision.
On the day before the exam:
Use your revision tools (e.g. diagrams, mnemonics etc) to check facts
Keep calm – don’t try to learn new topics so close to an exam.
Don’t stay up all night.
Please remember that revision isn’t a competition. It’s not about who stayed up
all night and revised the longest. It is about finding the right revision methods
that suit your way of learning. Try out some of the techniques mentioned and
you will find that revision isn’t as scary as you first thought. Getting started is
often the hardest bit.

Osmosis and Plant Transport you should be able to show that you can: (a)carry out investigations, collect data and draw conclusions to demonstrate the process of osmosis (across selectively permeable membranes) in plant tissue, to include:
the change in size and mass of plant and
be able to identify changes in plant cell structure that occur in plasmolysed and turgid cells due to osmosis at a microscopic level (b) explain osmosis as diffusion of water from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution, through a selectively permeable membrane; (c) explain how osmosis causes plant cells to become plasmolysed and turgid; (d) understand the role of the cell wall in limiting the entry of water; (e) understand that plants use water for support, transport, transpiration and photosynthesis; (f) use a potometer (bubble potometer and weighing method) to gain an understanding of the process of transpiration in plants; (g) define transpiration as evaporation from leaf cells followed by diffusion through stomata; and (h) investigate the factors affecting the rate of transpiration (wind speed, temperature, surface area and humidity) and be able to analyse data collected to calculate the rate of transpiration.
Circulatory System (a) understand the role of the circulatory system as the transport of materials and protection against disease; (b) understand that the circulatory system transports blood cells (red blood cells carrying oxygen) and materials such as digested food products, carbon dioxide, hormones and urea around the body; (c) through examining a heart:
identify the four chambers of the heart;
understand how its structure relates to the pumping action and sequence of blood flow in a double circulatory system;
identify the four blood vessels associated with the heart – the vena cava and pulmonary artery carrying deoxygenated blood and the pulmonary vein and aorta carrying oxygenated blood; and
identify the coronary blood vessels; (d) understand the role of the different types of blood vessels:
arteries – carry blood under pressure away from the heart (usually oxygenated blood);
veins – carry blood back to the heart and have valves which prevent the backflow of blood (usually deoxygenated blood); and
capillaries – allow the exchange of material with tissues through permeable walls; and (e) identify the blood vessels entering and leaving the heart, lungs, liver and kidney, and their functions. Know their names (f) understand the role of the different types of blood vessels:
arteries – carry blood under pressure away from the heart (usually oxygenated blood);
veins – carry blood back to the heart and have valves which prevent the backflow of blood (usually deoxygenated blood); and
capillaries – allow the exchange of material with tissues through permeable walls; and (g) identify the blood vessels entering and leaving the heart, lungs, liver and kidney, and their functions. (h)understand that:
a blockage of the coronary vessels caused by the build-up of cholesterol deposits restricts blood flow to the heart muscles, causing death of the heart muscle cells;
a blockage in blood vessels to the brain leads to a stroke, causing brain cell death and reduced brain function;
in both cases blockage leads to less oxygen and glucose reaching cells (heart muscle and brain) and less cell respiration; and
certain factors increase or reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes, and interpret secondary data to evaluate these risk factors and (i) investigate the effects of exercise on the pulse rate and know how the circulatory system benefits from regular exercise – strengthened heart muscle and increased volume of blood pumped per beat at rest
Question
type(s)
The exam consists of three separate papers, one for each of the different sciences. You will be allowed 30mins to complete each of these papers. [the exam will therefore be 1hr30mins long] Each paper will consist of a number of compulsory structured questions that provide opportunities for short answers, extended writing and calculations. The interpretation of secondary data and the interpretation or displaying data graphically could be in concluded.
