Spent half of today doing biology, gonna do the same tomorrow. Shouldn't have left biology revision so late! Have you done any past papers? Do you know what the grade boundaries usually are?

Good luck, both of you! I gave papers 1, 3, and 5 last November, and if the theory is going to be anything like ours, be prepared to write A LOT. Our paper was extremely long. When our teacher finally got to see it a couple days later, even she was surprised, and she has taught IGCSE and IB Biology for like 15 years. Don't forget, xtremepapers is your closest companion.

Thanks!
I've got all the papers and mark schemes from school since ~2002 though
Edit: I think A* is usually around 68% (really picky mark scheme ) but apart from that I don't know
okay thanks, is the 68% thing for just the extended paper? or overall? our school set 85% as the overall A* boundary for our mock and I got 58% which was a C

Is it marked out of 200 or 160? I got 140/160 For the mocks (37/40 for the mcq 70/80 for the extended and 33/40 for atp) yet my teacher still told me that i was 10 marks off an a star is that possible? come on 150/160 is like 94% Cambridge can't possibly be that cruel :O Do you know if the a grade falls to about 65-70 or stays at around 80? (a little info bout the a star grade would also be helpful) Thanks in advance
