Hi I also sat the exam today. How did you find the exam? I have a few questions...
How many marks will I need for a C this year and any info on what paper 2 will consist of? Any help would be appreciated. Good luck!

Hello! I found that the exam really tested my knowledge! How did you find it? I won't be able to tell you how many marks, but on average I think it's around 90 marks for a C - we won't know, officially, till a day before we get our results! Things like the nitrogen cycle seem to come up often - sorry I can't help that much. Hope it goes well for you.

Hello!
And yes, I haven't sat a science paper in years so I found it a little difficult. I totally blanked out as soon as i opened the first page! I think I missed a few questions out too😩 Have to prepare really well for paper 2 now. And oh thanks for that 😀

Hello Guys!Wasn't the exam hard? It didn't test many main topics instead concentrated its questions on ecology.I believe that it was very hard.It was more like paper 2. Usually more than 10 Questions come but this time there were only 6.Shouldn't we all complain about this to edexcel?

Perhaps paper 2 will be more like paper 1 😂

I don't think so :frown:
Anyone do Paper 2 today? I found it was more difficult than Paper 1 for some reason. There has been a lot of questions on ecology, plants and other topics which I did not revise on much. However there hasn't been any on the human body, balanced diet, etc. I'm quite disappointed...

I did the exam and found it alright. I was hoping for something on the heart tbh. I was quite irritated as some of the topics I spent hours revising didn't come up, but that's what exams are like; you can guarantee what comes up:/
