Doubt it, if you're doing edexcel there was so much fuss about t last year, don't think it'll be as hard this year, they'll try and avoid confrontation

It had a ridiculous question which didn't make any sense.

Feel like they would, it would be unfair otherwise.

Good luck everyone by the way, we'll all need it if the exam is as hard as 2015

The recent edexcel exams, (french and biology 1) sounded like they were much easier than aqa it looks like to me that aqa are upping it up this year and edexcel are toning in down, shame the majority of my exams are aqa, quite a few are edexcel then one wjec

Praying that AQA is nice (however after the French listening and by the sounds of Biology it doesn't look good) which means that I could potentially (I've done it twice now) get an A*. But A would still be amazing, I was at a high C last September. :biggrin:

Really hoping it's not hard, been scraping A*s but want to secure it as I need maths for all my A level subjects. A teacher told me that this year will apparently be the hardest :frown:(
I feel soooo bad for you, though Spanish and music for me are aqa and those are my worst subjects anyway, so that'll be fun.

I think if you edexcel we'll find it easier than aqa.
