It's weird, everyone I know works really hard for biology and are really intelligent but it seems like the A* grade is nearly impossible.
How so?
It's definitely easier than Chemistry.

I disagree, I think Chemistry is easier. Less effort is required in trying to get a good grade.

Oh Right.
In any case, I think that it's fairly easy to get A* in Biology (compared to other subjects).

Its so hard, it's just luck, you could be so smart, do all the past papers and come out with a B.

Yes, I have done every possible thing, as me something and I can guarantee I've done it. It's a really hard subject..
For me I missed the a* in it because of the empa. Only got a c in it compared to the proper exams which I was well above 90% ums on. I swear the empas are complete luck, the mark schemes for them are moronic.

Argh, thats frustrating! I hope everything worked out for you, how did you revise? I do everything but never get above a B in A2, and I get a B when I do hours and hours and hours of work.

Have you tried identifying what you do wrongly?

Multiple times, nobody knows what I'm doing wrong, my teachers are confused and puzzled by the situation.
The problem with biology is that you can know the content but not get the marks if you don't put the exact words on the mark schemes

Exactly, there is no way around it..
If you keep doing the questions and studying the mark schemes to see what you miss you can know what they want if the question comes up again. The raw marks required for an a* are well below 90% so it's definitely possible to get one.

I just think to myself, how does the examiner think of such cruel questions.
