And no idea for the writing section, I'm hoping something broad but it's really unpredictable :( CSSA trial was an invitation and a dialogue one? I'm not 100% sure

I've done pretty much all of them, but still don't feel too prepared! Ah well, time will tell. Finding extra listening ones was hard though, did most of them with my class luckily. You?

That's ok, repeat that and "mi piace la scuola" and you're on your way to a band 6

I know exactly what you mean by zoning out when doing the listening, it's pretty annoying. But yeah, reading sections take ages, and so does reading and responding ugh. The 200 word writing task is gonna kill me! I hope it's a decent question with lots to talk about

You'll be right Kap, good luck mate

I'm not too sure? Maybe someone knows it better, but it's tricky so some clarification would be good. I know that aldosterone occurs in the nephrons and ADH in the collecting ducts and distal tubules, so ADH would generally occur after aldosterone. Because the initial level of water in the...

Because ADH does not control the levels of salt in the blood. It only controls the concentration of salt through water retention. (Usually because of dehydration) It makes collecting ducts more permeable so that water can be reabsorbed back into the blood and body tissues. And when aldosterone...

Pectinase is an enzyme which is used commercially in the production of fruit juice. It catalyses the breakdown of the cell walls of the fruit to both turn fruit pulp into juice and to make cloudy juice clear. Outline a procedure you could follow to investigate the effect of pH on the activity...
