Im retaking Biology unit 1 this year and I'm averaging an A atm for it but i failed unit 2 and my school aren't letting me retake it...what is the maximum grade i can get overall for A2 as I need a B for Biology to get into my firm university choice?


It all depends on your modular UMS scores, post them and somebody will be able to help

you need another 322 ums to get a B overall. If you get for example 110/120 on your unit 1 resit you need a total of 212/300 UMS across your A2 modules to get a B overall, so essentially you'd need an average of a B across A2. I'd still suggest to do your best no matter what and don't think too much about achieving a certain number, otherwise it might lead to disappointment.

what grades for unit 4 and 5 would i need to get if i got a B again or A for A2 cw that add up to 212/300ums. To achieve a B would be the ideal circumstance but I'd be happy achieving a C based on achieving an E overall in as (E in unit 2 that i have to keep now-.-)
Does anyone know anything about this years (2016) article and the synoptic link
Hey There is a whatsapp group based on revision for Biology There are About 25 A2 students in which we all help each other and you can send your questions there. If you are interested reply with your number so that I can add you

does anyone have any ideas how topics and going to be related i.e AS and A2 topics. Maybe like a brainstorm of the possible links.

In terms of the markscheme, they are the same. But in reality ATPase is the opposite of ATP synthase, its hydrolyses ATP into ADP and Pi.


In reality, an enzyme has to catalyst both the forward and reverse reaction otherwise it's not a proper catalyst! So structurally and chemically they are the same thing. In the biology world, scientists use different names for each direction of the synthesis of ATP and the break down of ATP to distinguish between the two.
