Additional Science Grades Edexcel GCSE

To get into the courses I want to do at college (Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Textiles) you need a B at each subject. I have achieved an A in Maths already and an A* in my textiles coursework (60%) and I am awaiting the results of the exam.
However, it is Biology and Chemistry I am worried about. I do double science and you need a B at core and a B at additional to get onto these courses. I got a B in core and I want to know your opinion on what grade you think I will achieve this year (according to grade boundaries etc).

I got an 'A*' (75%) in Biology 2
A 'C' in Physics 2 (53%) (thanks to my absolute failure of a Physics teacher)
And 44/48 in my controlled assessment (grade boundaries haven't been set yet)
I took my Chemistry 2 yesterday and I think it went well. My chemistry teacher, however, was ill for half of the course so we hadn't been taught half the course! I did teach myself the parts we hadn't been taught and I was confident in the exam yesterday. I answered every question in full and think I did well... possibly a A*/A/B
Did anyone else take this exam yesterday on edexcel?

Anyway... do you think I will achieve my overall B grade as each exam and the controlled assessment are worth 25% each. I don't get my results until August obviously and the suspense is killing me!
Cheers :smile:

Of course you can! By the way is this for the new spec? If so, I took C2 Higher as well on the 13th of June. I don't think I did as good as last year, where I was sitting Foundation tier for B1, C1 and P1, yet my CA boosted my grade to a B.

If you've worked hard for it, it's sure enough to pay off, but if you tried your best and didn't make the grade, then truly, you haven't failed.

Whatever happens from now until August, don't be afraid to fail, if you know you've done your best.
