Don't blame the teacher! Work hard and you'll get there, just do extra work outside of class, it's worth it!
Thanks for the advice =D but Seriously, My teacher is whack! like she is so retarded, she can't teach for shiz! I do so much work for english but with her we dont learn anything, no exam technique, just nothing..
Btw, i'm in the top set in my english class, and nobody got an A* for the exam (In the whole of year 11) Only 2 guys at my school just scraped an A. My school's English department is a fail!
Impressive indeed. How did achieve perfect scores across all 3 papers?
Thanks I probably didn't actually get full marks because it's ums. And I'm utterly baffled as to how I didn't get miles lower in biology because the paper was horrid, I made up a whole question which was on protein synthesis which we hadn't done - I could do the first bit which was like where does it take place and after that I was making up how protein synthesis happens as I had no clue!
The answer as to how I did it was probably that I didn't have a life all Christmas holidays and started revising months before the exams and revised lots and did lots of past papers and went to lunchtime sessions for stuff I was stuck on. lol

Well it may involve sacrifice but obviously it seems to have paid off and work quite well for you so I wouldn't change your method. I'm sitting my Unit 2 and Unit 3 exams in May for all three Sciences.
I haven't heard of these UMS marks before. For GCSE's isn't it simpler to take the mark achieved/total marks to get a percentage? I'm a bit confused about the UMS. I just used the grade boundaries January 2012 document from the AQA website.
Really pleased with mine! OCR Maths: 100 A* AQA Chemistry: 95 A* AQA Physics: 76 B Kinda gutted about the B in physics because it means I can't get an A overall without doing another ISA or module in the summer :/
