I think I got around 43 looking at that uo mark scheme... Anyone got any ideas on the predicted boundaries? I saw 55 for an A* up there!


43 will most definitely be in the A

Really? I think it'd be 44/45.
I don't even know, hope I scrape an A literally walked into the test without revision.
Going to do so much revision for the next one - hoping for full UMS lol.

Sorry bro :biggrin:, but no one knows tbh how much they got. It all depends on the examiner, I misread like 5 questions so I am screwed. But, I know for a fact - if A* gets 55, A will be 46+. But, I'm sure A* won't be 55 tbh lol

It's cool dude... I went into that exam with little revision and quite stoked to get over half the marks really... I got really ill during the coursework so thats at an E so I really need to ace these exams to get that B that'll get me into the sixth I want to go into!

Good luck man, you'll need like 2 As or A*s, if you need any help - just ask me. I'm going to be banging out after Monday lol.

I'm taking a break from revising tomorrow but boy this week is going to be crammed. I estimated 68 marks on the maths paper and I've been a straight C grade student before I got a tutor so if I can get similar marks in the calculator I am going to be so happy! Biology is what I want to do alongside computer science, health and social as well as Law in sixth form so I need to get these Bs! I want to become a paramedic firefighter so I'm gonna need all the grades I can get! Thanks for the offer and I think I might take it up because our teacher taught us some really weird stuff for B4-B6... :/

Don't worry, and I've got my A* in maths so i can definitely help you.
Might not be able to get 100% in a paper lol, forgotten some stuff - rarely anything, but can still help with anything lol. I know that doesn't make sense but i'm sure u get the point :biggrin:

Thanks mate, I hope everyone does well too... Got any predictions in your mind?


How was the exam?

Remember that it doesn't really matter if you were 1 mark off a grade on a paper. It all depends on your overall mark not your marks for each paper. I did biology last year and got a B on paper 1, 1 mark off an A but got an A overall because my coursework was on A and paper 2 was A*/A (I can't remember).

Having completed the first paper on B1, B2, B3, does anyone have any thoughts with regard to Paper 2 on 17th June?
Any predictions for Paper 2 Biology coming up on 17th June, OCR?

Transpiration/ guard cells 6mark
SO much to cover in Biology and Physics - there is hardly any time between Paper 1 of Physics and Paper 2 of Biology! The 6 mark questions are quite taxing, really testing knowledge.
10. a) D because it has a thicker wall to allow for higher pressure blood to travel to the body and is the mirror image of a normal heart [2]

b) I'm not sure [how is the transplant surgery different]- I put the vessels eg. vena cava would be on the opposite side to normal [2]

c) 6300 [1]

d) ad: the doctors need to know if someone has it to carry out treatments, quite a few people are affected by it,

dis: not that many people are affected by it, could be expensive, could cause harm to the foetus, parents may disagree [2]


Please comment if you know what the question 10 (c) is... I'm still baffled.

there are 63 million people. Every 1 in ten thousand people have the disease. How many people have the disease?
