Terrified, i have these booklets which i've memorised but i'm stuck with maths and practical questions which are worth high marks. The examiners are so evil because these ' describe and explain the curve in the graph' or ' how well does application of fertiliser produce this change on the graph' are so subject to interpretation and the mark scheme so specific that i just don't know how to get good marks on them.

possible to share the booklets i'm kinda out of new resources these past few days. i can send 2019 AS papers in return?

with regards to those questions I've found it's just practice, getting full marks on AO3 questions is tricky and requires a bit of luck, but remember the A boundary is around 60% meaning that 3/4 marks etc will suffice if your practicals and math are up to scratch

Thanks, I'll send the link they were posted on TSR. and don't worry about sending anything in return's fine. The booklets are REALLY useful i've used both AS ans A2 and practiced 2 paper 1 papers and got A grades on both really hoping for an A* but i guess maths and practicals are letting me down.

brilliant cheers! I'm lucky to be doing FM so any math-based questions are free marks, whereas i'm not that strong with the actual content :redface:

sounds like you got this anyway!

Guys I have a very big feeling the paper is going to have BARELY any content.
The AS paper asked about flipping electrolysis and chemistry crap!
Just letting u know (my guts feeling) so you don’t get thrown off if it’s all application/maths/HARD knowledge

Hey guys, a top tip is to look through the whole paper. AQA put mostly all the easy 6 markers at the back and they've done this for years. So if fact recall is your strong point then definitely answer the back questions first.

AQA A-level Biology 7402 - Paper 1 - 6th June 2019
