Paper 2 of the specimen made me go from a C to a U overall ..:frown::frown:
Hope AQA don't make this an impossible bio exam which goes viral


Wouldn't it be better if it went viral and then the grade boundaries dropped?... :tongue:

lool dw about it my guy you will be fine , dont think about it too much cuz the as grade doesnt even count anymore as long as you pass into year 2 then u are fine, being nervous will make u perform worse in the exam as well as you are putting pressure on urself. relax for abit .

Did you guys not do the Specimen Paper 1 Set 2?
Most of the questions were based off of them. I did Paper 1 Set 1 and Paper 1 Set 2 from the mark scheme, revised the answers + revision guide and thought it went alright ... watch me come out with a D in August though :O

it was! Glad someone agrees with me! I've been getting A's and B's on all the past papers, and in comparison I thought it was much difference and the questions seemed unfair, they didn't really test our information recall at all!
