Triple science really shouldn't have to do Coursework -__-.

But biology tomorrow seems alright. Just need to go over a couple more things and I should be fine.
Goodluck everyone!

Yay I'm half way through B6. :biggrin:

I think the 6 marker could be on the whole process of brewing beer, there's a lot of stuff to know for that... Has it come up before?

Just about to start B6 now. Ooo, you could be right about the brewing bit. Hmm.
Goodluck :smile:

Does anyone know how many 6 marks questions are in the paper?
And what do you think the six mark questions will be on?
I'm thinking: The cardiac cycle and brewing.

GCSE's are annoying..the syllabus is so disjointed going here there and everywhere :/

nah no way... I'm pretty sure boundaries will be much lower considering it's the first time we're doing the exam.
Biology has always been the lowest grade boundaries since the course started. 60/85 would be like A*

to get 124/160 you need a low A/High B, so approximately around 42 marks , but aim for as many marks as you can!

Oh wow thank you, I really hope so! I can't really do the specimen paper because I've already done it ages ago and I don't remember what my mark was then either. I think I'll be alright but I don't know!!

1 6-mark per section A,B and C
1 5-mark on D..i believe?

I've always felt wary about critisising GCSEs because maybe I'm just stupid, but I feel like with Biology especially even if you describe in detail what happens you don't get the mark unless you use the exact keywords the writer of the exam had in mind.

I never revise in the morning - don't like to have seen anything to do with the subject so that the exam is the first thing I do and it all comes back to me. Revision in the morning confuses me and gets me all panicky haha :smile:
