AQA GCSE triple science

Hi,
I'm in sixth form and I'm tutoring someone doing GCSE AQA triple science. When did the specification change? How much has it changed since last year? Can anyone send me or direct me to some past papers for the last unit of GCSE triple science. When I did it, it was unit 3 but I'm not sure if that's changed.

Thank you :smile:

Some content has moved around, the papers are now 1 hour long.

Here is a website which has info for what you need: (Whats changed etc..)

- Biology

- Chemistry

- Physics

Here are the specimen papers for the new spec:

Thank you

I was horrified when I realised the specification had changed. Have any of the topics majorly changed?

Well, B3B is now all about Climate change and Human Activity.....

P3 has had it's convex mirrors removed (thank god) and some stuff brought in and out
e.g. Refractive Index and Total Internal Refraction + X Rays and Optical Fibers..

Stars have moved to P2........

Not sure about C3 :P

The links I provided will give you a better answer than me as they say what has been brought in, taken out and moved to other units and also new content :smile:

Thank you

No Problem :smile:

Happy to see I've helped someone :smile:

Hey there, I'm also doing triple science with aqa but I wondering what way would you recommend me revising for science ? Like how will you teach the other student ?

Well I'll start with the harder topics so a lot of revision can be done on them straight away. I'd get the other student to do a poster/mind map of the topic asking questions as they go along as quite a lot of GCSE is knowledge based then I'd question them with a completely new situation so they could apply their knowledge. Then finally we'd tackle a few exam questions. I'd ask them to do a few more questions before the next session and we'd discuss the answer in that session. I'd do this for most of the topics. :smile:

I'd base most of your revision around the CGP revision guides. They're brilliant! :smile:
