Good luck guys, I had 105/150 last year when I took it in June, did my retake this Jan and got 138/150.

My advice would be:

-Go over it, again and again - write notes, read it and memorize it
-Think about it when you write, think about the processes and what's going on, in other words visualize the content
-Past papers, the mark scheme answers are the difference between an A and getting a B, I didn't do much mark scheme in June and got a B, even though I thought i learned the content, but in Jan I didn't go over the content as much as I did in June, but upped mark scheme memorizing.

Goodluck y'all





Thanks for advice lol I got right snide comments from my teacher when they found out I'd been memorising bits from mark schme for the mock exam...I mean I just thought it was a normal thing lol

Btw do u mind me asking what course you have applied for university...

History
English Lit
Theology & Ethics

So not a lot of content at all :doh:

I competely miss the point of most questions :s-smilie: it always seems to me that they're asking for something different? :dontknow:

Good luck to both of us! :rolleyes:

I find Chem harder to be honest. But bio is a close second :p: Although Bio is really unpredictable :sad:

This is probably true from what I've heard from friends that do both. Biology can always throw in a random "applied knowledge/ how science works" question :s-smilie:
I hate those.

Here is a table which will help you and anyone else

A 120 - 150
B 105 - 119
C 90 - 104
D 75 - 89
E 60 - 74
U 0 - 59

This is the grade boundaries for the exam and this can be used for all predicting a grade on any exam.

f212 looks like a molecule compared to the amount of content you need to know in f215.
So this time I shall get 150/150!
