I also didnt really understand the dog being used in experiments question: was it the moral issues of ANY experiment or just analyse the use of dogs in the experiments into insulin that were given?

Lol I wasn't really sure about that either.

What I said was "On one hand it is cruel to animals, as we are causing pain through these experiments. However, on the other hand, it is to cure diseases so it could be said to be justified because of the outcome. In my opinion, I think the animal suffering is worth improving health in humans."

I think I maybe should have said that dogs have similar digestive systems to humans as they are mammals, but the question was quite vague.

I reli screwed up.
Phys: 23/45
Bio:20/45
Chem:18/45

I'm totally off target. What should i do?!

What's worse, we didn't get a chance to go through all of the questions. Does anyone have the mark scheme so i can see where i went wrong, i think the papers were June 2008........

My teachers were pretty cheesed off......

I got a C in chemistry in the mocks.

Ended up with an A* in the real thing.

Just revise hard, do lots of past papers, etc.

Don't worry I got:-

Physics: B
Biology: B
Chemistry: C (1 mark of a C)

and I have now gotten a copy of the specification and am working my way through it, knowing exactly what I need to learn

i bet you £5 i will.

I will take on that bet

and OP: look on the bright side - at least you can learn from your mistakes, sometimes doing really well in the mocks can make you overconfident :smile:

As others have said, going through the specification and past papers is really the best way to go :yep:

Sorry if I'm going slightly off-topic, but I'm confused about something. I took two multiple choice exams for each science and then I took a written paper (June 08 I think). Now I'm doing additional in Jan and triple in June.

I'm confused because I'm not sure what the written paper I did in June was. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Thanks.

Could it have been your ISA?

Thanks.

the structure for AQA triple science is:

2 multiple choice tests in year 10 (25%)
then in year 11, you do:

1 written paper for each subject (P2,B2,C2) (25%) <-- in january

and

another written paper for each subject (P3,B3.C3) (25%) <-- in june

the papers above (P3,B3,C3) are only for triple award though

and yeah, the ISA is the remaining 25%

I've done both multiple choice, ISAs and another written paper, which was sat in the exam hall, but I still have B2 P2 C2 and B3 P3 C3 to do.

Maybe I did the multiple choices AND written papers for B1 P1 C1, idk.

Got bak my gcse science(s) mocks........
