What is the best advice that you can give for science to move one or two grades up. I done my mock for Chemistry and i had a D i was 7 marks away from a C. And for Biology i had a C. What i can do have a B or an A I having been done past papers.

See where you are losing marks and revise those topics. Then do the questions you got wrong again and see if you get them correct this time :smile:

Do you think that i can have a A having a C in my mock and knowing that I only have 10 days for the Biology test?

I revised B1 in 3 days (around january) and now I fully remember everything. Did a past paper and got full marks in most exam papers (least I got was 54/60). I was able to revise B1, B2 and B3 in like 10-12 days and am predicted A* for Biology. It depends on how well you revise and how quickly/efficiently you revise.

What have you all revised today ? :biggrin:
Hey guys! Is there a whatsapp group for any of the AQA sciences? Please may I be added? :smile:
Who wants to do a Whatsapp group for Science? If someone wants just write yours numbers and i will create.

Guys theres an AQA biology group chat on the app "Bindle". Search for the hashtag "AQAbiology" :smile:
Hopefully:
Maths (OCR) A*
English language (WJEC) A*
English language (WJEC) A*
History (OCR) A*
Biology (AQA) A*
Chemistry (AQA) A*
Physics (AQA) A*
Further Maths (AQA) A^
I already did edexcel stats but only got an a because I messed up the coursework.
For Spanish I don't know what I'll get. Minimum is A but if I do well in the listening maybe I can get an A*. I got two A* for writing and 1 A* for speaking, along with an A.
By the way, how do you guys revise for AQA science. I need advice so I can get high A* in the exams because i only got one A* and two As in the ISA

I am also predicted an A* but I usually get in the 40's, do you simply use a revision guide and test yourself with revision questions?I feel like it is not enough for me as the exam questions are never that straight forward

I use the revision guide but I don't use the questions. They're way to easy compared to the questions that actually come up.

The thing is normally people say past papers help a lot (they do help a lot which is why I get mostly full marks in exams) however, for my mocks I did not touch a single past paper but only revised the content and still came out with mid 50s out of 60.
I think if you know the content and understand it and can apply it to different questions then u are set for an A*. Lots of people end up just memorising and not actually understanding the content. So my advice is definitely understand everything!
