    B, i narrowly missed an A by a couple of marks, unit 4 was a bitch. I did ok for AS i got a pretty solid A, and i think i got 73% in A2, i don't remember but yh it was really irritating, all that ecology rubbish, and unit 5 was just MASSIVE, ridiculous how much stuff we had to learn. If i remember correct I got A for unit 1 and 2, B for unit 4 and 5 and Bs for the EMPAs. Just grin and bear it, the mountain you climb is only worth it once you get to the top.

    Aw well done!!
    I messed up my Unit 1 paper pretty badly I got it back from AQA and it was mostly because I didn't have enough detail/keywords :/ otherwise my answers were all correct! & I've got an A in the ISA/EMPA so I hope that helps a bit.
    I think I'm going to drop biology this year though

    A2 bio is a bitch, but i know someone who got a C in AS level and somehow just smashed A2 and got A* overall without even resitting AS. because they literally did 100s of questions from this software called exam pro. It really depends on what you wanna do at uni, what else are you studying?

    Oh wow :O ! I think I may have to look that software up

    Well at Uni, i'm not going to do anything science related,probably History & Economics, IR..something like that..maybe even liberal arts. The AS subjects i'm doing are Biology, Chemistry, English Literature and History..so I guess my latter 2 subjects are the ones I really need to do well in

    They had it at my college, this site says its £80 for A-level, which is quite hefty tbh. Ask your teacher if they can get it for your school/college
