Same! I'm fine with chemistry and geography (I got high UMS at AS) but I'm worried about my biology results! Do you do AQA biology? I think I've got: 60/75 unit 4 70/100 unit 5 40/50 ISA
Oh wow I do AQA Bio too and I'm worried sick as well cos I need an A*. What do you reckon the boundaries would be? I think I've got 52/75 for Unit 4 (I agree it was really easy but I've made so many silly mistakes), 73/100 for Unit 5 and 38/50 for EMPA... Also do you mind me asking which board's Geography do you do? Thank you!!

You should have a B in unit 4 and an A* in unit 5 then
I did AQA geography - ecosystems, tectonics and world cities. I got 196/200 at AS but I didn't like this years unit 3 paper :/ I'm thinking 63/90 in unit 3
Boundaries for biology imo: Unit 4 - 60 A*, 55 A Unit 5 - 68 A*, 62 A
Yeah I do AQA as well! You've probably got an A* by the looks of it. Unit 4 was quite easy tbh but unit 5 is always hard so I don't think you should worry. I just hope the isa grade boundaries are lowered (yeah right!) because I really don't know how I ended up with a C (most people in my year got Cs and Ds even Us) when it was such an easy paper Did you do edexcel chemistry?
Ugh! Tell me about it- I got a U in my AS biology ISA haha. I did AQA chemistry though
How did you think the aqa u4 chem was? I feel the bounderies may still be higher than u5
Chem 4 was plain weird, definitely the hardest Chem 4 paper I've done - I think the boundaries will drop a lot (like 5 marks per grade) Chem 5 was pretty standard, nothing surprising in that exam tbh - straight forward
Everyone is talking about a2, I am not looking forward to next year this time when I'll be so stressed for results date .. I did as this year, anyone here who did it and want to discuss about it
A2 results is simply a different ball game compared to AS, NO ONE wants to retake A2 whilst their mates are at uni. At least with AS you knew you were dropping a subject and you had the retakes to fall on.

Ahh ok thanks! Do you think there's any chance that my Unit 5 could be full UMS? Cos I'd really need my Bio to average into an A*...
Oh right I did Edexcel. You'll be fine with Geog given the high AS. I hate my Unit 3 too lol.

God ISAs are the worst! The raw marks between the grades are enough to make me throw up lol Dunno how AQA's papers were but Unit 4 for Edexcel Chemistry was ridiculously hard Unit 5 was easy but I don't even know what to expect with the boundaries
