Prediction for STPM Biology 2011 Paper 964/1 There are fifty questions in paper 964/1 (Paper 1).

It is consisting 30% of the Biology paper. Students need to answer all questions. Marks will not be deducted for wrong answers. All the topics are evenly distributed, therefore students need to study harder!! Berry Important Topics (BIT):

Chapter 7 *Gaseous Exchange Chapter 18 *Population Genetics Chapter 11 Hormone / Chemical Coordination Chapter 17 *Mutation

STPM 2001 STPM 2010 (Every STPM examination: 2 4 questions in average):

Chapter 1 *Basic Chemistry of a Cell Chapter 3 Control in Cells Chapter 5 Respiration Chapter 4 Photosynthesis Chapter 8 *Transport Chapter 9 Homeostasis Chapter 10 Nervous System Chapter 14 *Development Chapter 16 Transmission Genetics Chapter 19 Gene Regulation and Expression Chapter 20 Modern Genetics Technology Chapter 22 Biodiversity Chapter 23 *Variation and Theory of Evolution Chapter 24 *Ecosystem

Not so BIT with normally 1 question in average in MCQ question:

Chapter 2 Structure of Cells and Organelles Chapter 6 Nutrition Chapter 12 Immunity Chapter 13 Reproduction Chapter 15 Growth Chapter 25 Quantitative ecology

Not Important (0 or 1 question)

Chapter 10 (Taxonomy)

* Important topics that has shown steady upward trend in appearance in STPM.

Prediction for STPM Biology 2011 Paper 964/2 There are two sections (Section A and B) and 60% of the Biology paper. In section A, students need to answer all questions. In section B, students need to answer any four questions. Answers may be written in either English or Bahasa Malaysia. In 964/2 (Paper 2), you actually can predict the Berry Important Topics (BIT)! Do a mock self-test by writing it (essay) out on a test pad. Read it for a few times and before you enter the examination hall. Biology started to follow (2006) the Chemistry trend which there is variety chapter in one question. It is a good way to eliminate students from spotting questions but bad for the last minute study.
