    I've just looked in my textbook and it didn't say anything about fish or reptile hearts, even though we were taught it :dontknow:

    Maybe it's one of those things your teacher taught you although it's not on sylabus, homeothermic and poikilothermic aren't terms on syllabus but are true and usually score a mark!

    I've done English Literature, English Language A, Religious Studies, Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics (Higher Tier) so far. I still have History and Chinese B to go.

    Probably butchered the Physics and Chemistry exams. Gahhhhhhh. And Religious Studies was far too long. My hands cramped half way through and I wasn't able to finish writing all the essays. I thought RS was supposed to be the easiest but that **** was lengthy.

    I got A* in Physics and Biology, A in English Language and C in Eng Lit (although I'm appealing both the A and the C).

    As for the others, hopefully similar (apart from the C). What about you?

    Sure you've done fine :yes:

    Doubts started creeping in near results day for me last year and this year but I still got good results.
