I flopped it

What was your coursework on?? I did my first set of coursework a week before easter holidays. Our teacher said that we can only re-take one max. which is unfair. :frown:

lucky! I know we were suppose to do 3x but due to "shortage of staff and time" we can't. Also, they have to send all the courseworks to the examboard before 10th May.

You have my condolences. I hated the AS Biology coursework and only managed to scrape an A. I just finished the A2 Biology coursework with a 37 out of 40 total (35 for an A) which took 2 resits.

We were'nt allowed to retake any as the head of Biology in my school claimed he wanted to make it 'as honest as possible'. So many did badly on the coursework though. I just cannot to biology practicals without feeling I have no idea what I'm doing :frown:

an A, I know I can probably get it in the exams with tonnes of revision but I fear my coursework will bring me down to a B.
I really need an A as I want to go into medicine.

You should appeal your decision. I feel really sorry for the people who had incredibly strict teachers (for no utter reason) - Coursework is stupid and thankfully is being phased out.

Fortunately for me, my teachers are a lot more lenient lol (a lot)

I wish my teachers were more lenient, as now I have to try to get very high mark in the exams to make up for my bad ISA marks

I've found these F212 notes and they are abosultely helpful because they shorten everything down as well as going through the specification! I think I might use this as my revision notes instead of my own :biggrin:

Which is a B. If all teachers were equally as strict as mine then the grade boundaries won't be so flipping high :frown:
