Does anyone know if we'll be asked about the core practicals in our As exams? (for the new 2015 spec)

Sorry you've not had any responses about this. :frown:

Are you sure you've posted in the right place? :smile:

Here's a link to our subject forum which should help get you more responses if you post there. :redface:

You can also find the Exam Thread list for A-levels here and GCSE here. :dumbells:

Just quoting in Puddles the Monkey so she can move the thread if needed :h:

apparently core practical questions are around 20-30% of the marks! i have been given a summarised sheet on them if you would like me to send it? i also cant find anyone doing edexcel- so annoying haha! good luck for thursday, lets hope theyre kind!

That would be great if you could send it! No pressure though, there's some really useful summaries in the revision guide :smile:
