Yes! Multiple Choice really stresses me out :frown:

Have you got your textbook? the practice exam questions at the end of every unit are actually my life-saver right now!

ahh for me it's the other way round! I can do multiple choice but those data analysis questions are evil 👿 and yeah! done most of those questions but doing past papers now :smile:

how are you revising for it?

Hey guys- im doing HL Bio, Chem and Psychology and SL English lit, french and maths studies :smile:

I am hoping to do Biomedical science at Cardiff- i need 34 points (and 6 6 in chem and bio) and im so so so worried i wont get that (even though im predicted 38 but a 5 in chem). What are you guys doing about the lack of exam papers for group 4? Im really hoping the boundaries will be nicer as its a new syllabus for chem and bio :smile:

Theres a new syllabus for physics too :angry:

I think the only paper for the new syllabus is the specimen papers but you can alway do the old papers and skip the sections with questions no long in the syllabus (its something)

May the boundaries be will us

I'm cramming everything in the last minute now and I feel disgusted with myself - like we actually had a bit of time. if only we were smart enough to utilize well enough 😪

Quick question : Do you think its ok if we drop by like maybe 3 points? As in if I miss my offer by 3 whole points have I lost all my chances of getting accepted :frown:

(cause i feel like i will lose my offer by more than just 2 points)

On a different note I AM SO GLAD our results come out a month before A Levels. It means our unis may prioritise us.. right? Isn't that like an advantage? Or does it really not make a difference ?

My HL Psychology buddies, wondering what 2 options you picked to study and how you feel about them? Hows everyone doing with memorizing studies?

Hey there!
Abnormal and Health for me. I am pretty confident with Abnormal but still struggling with health even though it is considered easier. As for studies, i have picked the ones that i can use for different essays in order to minimize the number of studies that i have to remember :u:

Oh Abnormal as well over here, but we did Human Relationships instead! Our teacher told us about the studies we can use for a couple LO's as well. Personally I hope there's a schema, or conformity question for the Paper 1. And ab/normal concepts for Paper 2. But now I've said that it there won't be any :colonhash:
