Yeh I did the same English exam as you, and it is 40% as far as I know, is your exam board OCR?

Nope, I'm with AQA. I hate it! What were your questions like for your OCR one?

Your awating less results than me and i'm in Y10 :eek:

unless your school packs them all in this June.

Well I've already done 2 maths exams, an English exam and 4 science exams, as well as 'Controlled Assessments' for English Lang, Lit, Science, French, History, Humanities, PE...
About 10 exams in May/June! Fun.

It wasn't bad, I basically have to answer 4 questions which in total make up 80 marks, and the last question is 40 marks so I have to write a article/blog or whatever they ask but yeh it was good. What about yours?

AQA B2 results. The hardest Biology exam ever.

I completely agree! My teacher said there were some things which were meant to be in the AS level syllabus, not GCSE o_O

For an A* and in the specimen it was 43/60 for an A* in chemistry and this paper was harder than the specimen.

No way, that's awesome! What did you have to do for a C, write your name?

Yes - everyone's sick of it! Luckily I haven't needed to resit but lots of people have. Everyone hates the AiDA we have to do in IT - it's just one big boring project. :bored:

Well done on your Y9 A! Good luck with all your other exams. :smile:

I see this isn't the first time you've gone to a thread and started mocking someone... however I agree with you on this one. 43/60 for an A* is just ridiculous....
