Does anyone have any ideas of the Grade Boundary predictions for Separate Science (Biology Unit 3 paper). The test was fairly easy so will the Grade Boundaries be higher than usual?

Everyone is predicting around 47 for an A*
What were the grade boundaries for the Biology exam last year?

I read somewhere that the A* grade boundary could be 49/60, that could be wrong but I imagine that they may be fairly high.

Yeah, I think that, maybe 47/48 A* idk. I think that an A might be between 41 - 43 marks.

Do you have any idea what the predictions for an A will be?

I said less land needed and it's quicker to produce than rearing animals, do you think that's right?

Probably, but I put that its a healthier option and its more ethical because factory farming is cruel.

Reason 1: Mycoprotein has a high protein and fibre, with low fat therefore it is suitable for producing protein for growing populations.

Reason 2: The production of Mycoprotein doesn't require any land.
Suitable for vegetarians is a point as well i think

I put that less CO2 is produced when compared to cattle farming and that it is more sustainable.

I put 23 and 46, but I'm really not sure! (Also I think you might go to my school if your username is your name :P)


I put 1 and 2 or 2 and 1. Can't remember which way around

I screwed that up :biggrin:

I said it helped us to cope with the rapid population growth & that it prevents food resources from running out as it is a sustainable food production method.

I don't think it will to be honest. I'd say between 45-46 at most but it wasn't as easy as C2 papers which tend to be that high but obviously it won't be particularly low.
