I wrote that a drug is a substance that changes the chemical processes in people's bodies,

It's what the spec says...

I put Richard Lammarck on the question where it asked you 'who came up with the theory' or whatever, I know that's not his name, it was like a little spur in the moment decision but would I still get the mark?!

Was it not Charles Darwin!?!

Oh I think I put that :smile:

Loads of people were saying three though so I got confused :P Why did people put three?

maybe they got confused with the graph anyway , best of luck with your grades man ive got lots of work to do for chemistry and physics :smile:

FOR THE POLL, REMEMBER THIS

* There were probably a lot of people who got very low marks. I'm being stereotypical, but they're very unlikely to be here on TSR talking about the test. :smile:

* I'm sure there are quite a few people who gained very high marks but, at this early stage, are not willing to "tempt fate" by answering "55-60", for instance.
* You should know this from Biology - the sample size isn't large enough! :biggrin:

I wouldn't sweat it. :wink:

This means the grade boundaries will be low!

No, I put that first but thankfully remembered that Lamarck was the one who said if an animal uses something a lot, eg. Legs; they'll grow longer. It says it in the CGP textbook. Charles Darwin came up with the natural selection thing.

Cam someone explain to me how you need around 70% right out of 60 e.g. 42/60 for an A* but in UMS you need 90%; how can the percentage change, I don't understand. Sorry if this is a stupid question

Can someone please tell me if I would have got a mark for writing 'Richard Lamarck'?

damn it man chemistry is going to be so much harder in my point of view!

question 7 anyone?

its so hard to even revise for chemistry can someone help me out with balancing equation as i still don't manage to understand them?

Here's how it works.

In order to gain an A* in GCSE Biology, you need a UMS score of about 360/400 or above.

However, all of the components that contribute to this score (B1, B2, B3 and ISA) are assigned RAW and UMS scores.

For example, last year a raw score of 42/60 in BL1HP was classified as 90% (A*).

So, to get your final score, they add all your scores together with UMS included and, if the total is above 360, you've secured an A*. :smile:
