Are you guys talking about AQA or Edexcel. I found the AQA one quite hard :s-smilie:

I did OCR today. Hope you guys get your grades, if not you can always do it again in June :smile:

Biology was my fall at A level even though it was my favourite subject. In the end I got a B but with 2 marks off an A. Pissed.
Funnily enough in Chemistry, the subject I disliked the most, I got an A*. As much as I found it hard in class, I always did awesome in exams for it. No idea why.

If I could do it all again I'd make sure I'd finish the spec months before my exam so I could just do past papers. You know you'll smack an exam when you're confident enough to go a day with out any rev the day before your actual exams. Ask yourself that. Not sure if it's the same thing with uni exams.

E: lol why neg?

Have you done the past papers? They're not that easy! one was 64/100 for an A!
I've got all of them, plus every legacy paper there is - I failed these last year and am determined to do well this year so fingers crossed! aha

Good luck on Weds! Have you finished your exams now except for that one?

Legacy papers are papers from the last specification, so the questions are similar but not exactly the same.

Does anyone know and this is particularly aimed at current BM6 students, whether BM6 students like BM5 students also have the opportunity to do an intercalated Masters degree? Thanks :smile:

Once you complete the Bm6 year, you just become a BM5. There is no difference between people who have done BM6 and those just starting BM5. So yes you can do it, but you need to be chosen. The uni only allows a few people to do it :smile:
