    What should I tell my friend?
    My friend is in Year 10 and I'm in Year 13.
    She will take her Biology exam next Friday (15/6) and last night when I asked her to define hormone, she said ''stuff you get for growing hair and getting bigger breast''.
    This is obviously not a good answer for a Biology exam but she is not worried at all.
    What should I do?

    you should advise her to revise as GCSE's are important. she may do last minute revision as a lot people tend to do that. ask her in a few days time again and tell her to start revising otherwise she'll regret it.

    You should not care, it's her life not yours.

    Pretty much.

    OP, don't you have other things to worry about?

    It might have been a lazy comment, there's been times when my friends have asked me similar questions and I just say the easiest thing like "It's when the thing and the whatsitsname join and make loads of copies." yet in an exam I'd write it down formally and correctly.

    If not you can only just encourage her to revise, she might be planning to start revision a few days before anyway and know the answer before the actual exam.
