    GCSE Edexcel Biology B3 exam queries
    Does anyone have any links to the Edexcel GCSE B3 papers from 2007 and 2006? Ive done all the others and would like to do these but I cannot find them anywhere and my teachers dont have any!

    Another thing is when answering a 3mark question I put many points (usually 5) If one of them is wrong do I loose a mark even if 3 are correct.
    Thanks.

    I don't think they are avaliable for some reason, i've been looking for them myself The only ones avaliable are the ones from 2008-2011.

    And with the marks, as long as you have 3 correct points you will recieve 3 marks ^^

    I don't think they had any papers those years, does anyone have grade boundaries for the specimen papers though?

    Thanks for all the answers guys! I think the grade boundaries are generally 30=c and i think its 48 = A of the top of my head but some change. Apparently it should be easier this year as this is the last exam for this. In addition they don'd do papers in those years cos' they had not started yet ANYWAY GOOODD LUCKK!
