The only other one is the one that teachers can only get so they were meant to give you the paper and mark scheme for it. Thats how I got it

I dont have a link for it. We were only given a printed out copy
This thread and another one I saw for this course has made me feel a little bit better that it's not just my school getting mostly Us and Es.

I agree. I've been getting U's and E's and I'm so scared for tommorow because the thing with bio is the application of knowledge questions. I'm just hoping for the best and if I do terribly I guess i could always take a gap year and redo y12... But hopefully the exam will be good...

Yh everyone seems to be finding it difficult so you're not the only one.

These are the biology B locked papers. Some of the question aren't relevant to Biology A so ignore them but some are just in case you wanna try

I got an E in my first mock in Jan, it was such a shock to us, we'd not been prepared for anything like it (still aren't :colonhash:) and then got a D in the most recent one (along with 2 others in my class, no one got higher than a D....) but that included questions from the 1st mock because of limited resources so not sure you can really count that. :grumble:

Good luck :redface: :hugs:
