How did you guys find B2 + B3 ?


Surprisingly easier than I thought.
That might be because we spent over an hour between B2 and B3 revising for B3, but I can safely say that I flew through both exams.

Really ? We had one minute break between B2 + B3

Wow yeah. I've been hearing about how long the breaks have been, and I kinda feel sorry for you guys :colonhash:

What would a low A*, high A*, high A and mid A total for? (In Bio)

one of them was about plants
the second was about how your body reacts to cold conditions

I thought it was how the body reacts when your core body temp is too high??? *breathes heavily*

i'm so confused, my friends and i all talked about body temp too high and I've seen a lot of people on here talk about that too, yet I'm also seeing cold being mentioned?

I do not see your point. One ISA is taken through? So, in this case, my Chemistry ISA is taken through?

Yes that's right, your best one is taken through, so if you didn't do so well in the others it doesn't matter. Strange how your school didn't tell you this? I did core last year so you can count me on it.

Thank you, that made my day. So, my Biology and Physics ISAs are not counted whatsoever on my overall Science GCSE?

No, just the best one. For my first ISA- which was physics- i got something around 37, but for chemistry i got 48, which was the only one that counted for me. So it still allowed me to get the top grade. (Somehow got 48 in all of my ISAs now haha)

This is brilliant! So for my overall Science GCSE, its 20% Biology, 20% Chemistry, 20% Physics and 20% ISA? I need to make 100% sure so I don’t get confused whatsoever. And that’s brilliant! A-Levels going well?

How are you all revising for chemistry and physics? I feel like the papers are gonna be really hard
I quite like the 3s,the 2s are okay but I really hate P2 omg I don't understand any of the stuff

Those 4 exams are the final remaining exams for me, so I've started revising for all four.
As for C2 and C3, I'm using this 'Gojimo' app that all the kids are talking about these days (I've done past papers to death).
