lol, its not bad i jus wanna know whats likely to come up
I'd say revise everything just to be on the safe side. Apparently the heart hasn't come up in a while so it might come up on Monday as well as mitosis. Physics is fine, it's mainly all equations and you get given the formula sheet. I'm focusing on mainly maths right now and going to go over science before the exam haha
The heart came up last year and so did alot of stuff to do with respiration. However I would revise everything if I was you. (Or revise nothing so the the grade boundaries go lower) Please everyone taking this exam don't revise and do your worst so I can get my best.

Wow, that's soo good! So you got an A* overall including your coursework?
Any tips on revsion?
Also could you possibly give me any guidance on this for OCR Core science GCSE:

If my coursework is a C grade (mid-high)= 25%
Paper 1 (35%)= Estimate about a mid-high C
Paper 2 (40%)= Estimate about a high B-low A

What grade would I get overall? Could it be possible to get a B overall /higher (hopefully) ?
Much appreciated :h:

It's on the 9th of June, this tuesday :eek:
For whoever hasn't revised yet, they can literally do one module a day, starting with chemistry as it seems like it's quite short and repetitive :smile:

well unfortunately I was 3 marks of an A* overall. I got a B in coursework and 2 A*'s in the exams.

When I revised I did it about a week or a few days before the exam so the info in fresh in your mind, you will forget it if you start to early.

Then go through your book or revision guide if you have one and make noted on different topics, don't move on until you have completely understood everything on each page. After you have done this try to summarise these notes onto 3 A4 sheets, one for physics, chem, biology. You should learn to take down stuff you wont remember, be disciplined on yourself for info you don't need. Read these 3 sheets up unti the exam and you WILL be fine! :smile:

I got a B in my controlled assessment so of I got two A's in my exams would I get an A or B. Would I have to get at least one A* to get a A overall?

It depends on how high thr B was, if it was low you would have to get an A* and a mid A at least. But it depends on the ums marks.

Was the answer for what was part b/a the right ventricle for the artificial heart? I wrote left because i thought of it as a ACTUAL heart and thought the left was more muscular UGH:angry::frown: Really didn't like this paper
