Is it true if you get lower than a C, it's a U for the higher tier? Can someone please tell me!

I wanted to slit my wrists during this exam! It was so so so hard! And plus there was a section on the exam not on the spec! My teacher went through the paper (it was SO CRUEL) and literally everyone was saying they didn't get half of it right. I hope the whole country didn't do as good, so then they'd have to lower the grade boundaries! I really think I may have gotten lower than a C! so unexpected, and so hard compared to the Biology and the physics paper unit 1 AQA.
I WANT A RE-SIT!


i totally agree except i didn't do the biology paper!

This was crazy hard especially compared to the Physics and Biology and I'm on a D for all 3 sciences :P

After somehow getting 42 out of 60 in the specimen paper I feel it went very badly :frown: My mind just went blank, but time will tell. Saying this, I think a re-sit may be needed.

Hi, my younger brother's stressed about whether or not to re-sit with a mid-A, but wanting an A*. I've never had to resit so I don't really know what to advise... should he make up the rest in C2 and C3 or resit in June? Thanks :smile:
