What don't you know in Biology and Physics? And what are you aiming for in either one? An A for Biology shouldn't be too hard. You only need 80 and 40 to get an A

In double award you only get two grades. So you cant get an A, A and a B. Only just an AA or an AB. Can't believe it's you first GCSE. This is my 4th exam! What do you find particularly hard in edexcel physics? (Refrain from saying everything):bricks:

Sorry for the late reply. I went to eat dinner. For the past papers I've done there are 4 marks for assembling a potometer
1. Cut shoot at a slant underwater
2. Make sure the apparatus is air tight/ water tight
3. Make sure the leaves are dry
4. Measure the distance moved by the bubble

Airtight just means there is no air within the apparatus but you don't need to know that. Just say it for the mark.
