My teacher said we could "show off" by mentioning some P7 stuff for a few extra marks

I doubt they would do that as it would be a disadvantage for people who don't do p7

yeah same but i did include some stuff from P7 since I have seen in previous mark schemes that they write something like "reward references to P7" or something.

yeah I've heard that too :smile:

It says on the mark scheme to accept references to Cepheid Variables etc, my teacher's a marker.

for triple we do 9 exams, which imo would have been better modular :smile:

Fair enough to make them harder and more challenging, but I don't like this linear system.

I would prefer more harder exams modular, with the opportunity to resit. Surely that would allow for a system where students are constantly learning whilst facing up to a challenge :/

I wouldn't mind more content too, but atm with our school not even being able to afford glue sticks or paper in some departments, it's lack of funding to fund teachers for longer hours is worrying

not that this matters to p123 really lol
