RE: can someone help?? exam re-take SOOON
I used cue cards too. I found it really helped if you drew out the different body parts, for eg, the heart etc and labelled them yourself. Somehow it stuck better in my mind then. Did the same for muscles (although they were hard.) Then I carried these around and read them on the bus, train etc.
As for the glands and hormones - I had trouble with them too, so I posted the name of the hormone on one side and what part of the body it affected and how on the other.
But the main thing I did was print out loads of past exam papers posted on this website and go over and over them time and again. Also found the apitec site very useful.
Best of luck!

I wrote notes in discussive form on each body system, as though I was telling someone else about it. It helped me recall the information in a logical way.
Muscles unfortunately are not the easiest thing to learn, but do the movements and that should help.
I also used lots of anagrams (can't remember if that is really what they are called) and rhymes, to help me remember, you know like
SHAPESVM for skin functions.
Please email me if you have any areas you would like more detailed help on. I'm more than happy to help you out.
Good luck!

Hi ellie
Iv just been on the past exam papers forum and the entry vtct a&p (was the first one when i looked) should help you,
I took my exam back in June and these questions are different to those that i had, so i would assume you will have these or those similar as it appears they are changing the exam papers each year.
Whilst i am on, if anyone knows of any changes to the M149 exam could you let me know, they messed up on our exam in march so we are taking it at the end of the month, but i have been advised they may use a new paper. I have read the questions posted on the original M149 and they seemed pretty straight forward, but any help would be appreciated.
🙂
