Tell me about it, Biology is becoming such a bore and my motivation for it is becoming non-existent. I really need to find a good way to revise so that I can be engaged and begin to like Biology again! I agree a teacher has a massive effect on the fond you have for a subject, that might be another reason why I dislike Biology rn :biggrin:.


IKR! I actually enjoyed Biology at AS and then Ecology went for the kill XD. One of my teachers as well.. like she seems really bored herself when she teaches :giggle:

I do Physics and my teacher had the same effect but when I started to read Physics that was outside the syllabus ( like the things I actually enjoyed ) I went back to liking it again :smile: although I still dread doing OCR Physics lol it's actually hell XD

Maybe you should try read around the Biology topics you enjoy then? :smile: Aww I have heard that Physics is really difficult, it is a regret of mine not taking it. :frown:

and yeah! especially OCR Physics (not really sure for other exam boards) in my school 20 people took it for AS now there's only 8 doing A2 lol all of those who dropped were all just saying the same thing.. '' I felt like a great weight was lifted off my shoulder'' XD

may I ask what subjects you do?

Hey did these AS notes help get you an A grade ? And if so how high ? I really really need an A this year and I'm retaking both exams so any advice would be great :biggrin: xx

I'd have to check to get the exact UMS, but it was around 90% I think :smile: Good luck with the retakes!! xx
Resitting F212 and F213 isn't going to help you in any way, I would say.

Concentrate on getting an average of 90% in your A2 modules and you'll find yourself with an A*.
Does anyone have the f214 2015 paper?
