I'm going to do it too. I plan on studying like now. I hope we can help each other out how do you guys plan on starting? I was thinking first reading a chapter and making notes according to the syllabus for all. As well as solving every topical worksheet I can find for each so in the end I have a large bundle of stuff to go through. But of course constant revision will be required. Let's hope we stick to that

I think question 3 was about what organelles are present in the animal and plant cells, i chose the answer which had no lysosome for the plant cell, i think it was C.

That's awesome I think energy and respiration is difficult the first time you read it, but after a couple of times of reading and memorising, you get the hang of it. I also found the revision guide for Mary jones so please do let me know if you guys want it. I asked my teacher which chapters students generally find most hard, and she said it was coordination and response because apparently that's very long and has 3 subsections

Especially when the questions in this topic come out as essay writing.

Okay guys, I would like to cover everything in the 2015 CIE syllabus. So it's better to start with revising the first basic chapters till the last. Below are summaries of some basic chapters. And yes, GOOD LUCK to you all. WE will absolutely do our best in the papers.

Chapter 1: CELLS

• The cell is the basic unit of life-the basic unit of structure and function in living matter. Living organisms are made of cells.

---> Cell size:
The dimensions of cells are expressed in the unit called a micrometre or micron.
units of length used in microscopy:
1 metre=1000 millimetres (mm)
1 mm= 1000 micrometres
1 micrometre= 1000 nanometres (nm)

• Bacteria are typically 0.5-10 micrometres in size.
• Most plants and animal cells are in the size range 50-150 micrometres or larger.
