Biology Practical Exams

I have a biology practical exam in 2 weeks :-\. Its going to be on the enzyme topic in maintaining a balance. Ive written notes for all the theory, and i've written up methods for all the pracs in that section of the sylubus but I'm wondering how else I should prepare for prac exams?
Its a 2 hour exam, what kind of questions can they ask?
Any tips? ;D

It's definitely worth forming a group with students and discussing the pracs you've done in depth, with a particular emphasis on trying to identify some of the weaknesses of the prac and how you might address them.

This is a skill that is critically important to all sciences and is one that is often not taught well. And the only way to really get good at it is to practise :)

Definitely know what reliability, validity and accuracy are!!!!

They can ask you to assess/evaluate any of those categories during your practical.
