Aqa triple science official thread 2016 (gcse)

I feel like they're trying the new specification on us, because that was nothing like the 2015 one.
Does anyone else think this?

P2 45 for an A* is the highest
P3 48 for ah A* is the highest

What do you reckon for an A or a B?

Hey guys if you're interested there's an unofficial mark scheme for P2 on Facebook.
Go on the page 'AQA Exams 2016'

From the comments on Facebook it seems the grade boundaries are going to be the lowest in history

GCSE SCIENCE THREAD! :banana:

Hey guys!
I decided it was best to create one of these threads as we are ever closer to starting our exams!
:party:

Ok a recap of our exams
So we have 9 written exams, three for Chemistry, three for physics and three for biology.
Here is the specification for Chemistry, Biology and Physics :h:

Important Dates :eek:

~~Biology B1~~: 17th May 2016 (PM)
~~Biology B2~~: 10th June 2016 (AM)
~~Biology B3~~: 10th June 2016 (AM)

~~Chemistry C1~~: 19th May 2016 (AM)
~~Chemistry C2~~: 15th June 2016 (PM)
Chemistry C3: 15th June 2016 (PM)

~~Physics P1~~: 25th May 2016 (PM)
~~Physics P2~~: 17th June 2016 (AM)
Physics P3: 17th June 2016 (AM)

:s-smilie:

This thread :s-smilie:

Here you can ask any questions, whether it is about the exams, or the content...I would be happy to help! :biggrin:

We can also post any predictions on what we think will come up in the exams!

i think none of them were too bad it's just that i had to go to the toilet in the middle of the p2 exam really bad and couldn't concentrate properly but I agree with you guys p2 was harder more in depth questions in it, p3 was ok but i think both were still harder than the 2015 papers.

I found them both hard and I wasn't even allowed to have a ****ing shite inbetween them either

Just hoping that those A* ISA's and hopefully good p1 can get me an A

It can never be 48 for an A*, perhaps 45, but all the 3’s have low grade boundaries, usually like 39, 40, 41, so perhaps it might be 40?

For P2, it is going to be really low as everyone found it difficult. Perhaps 43 for an A*?

For triple science how do they add up the grades do u get an individual grade for biology chemistry and physics if so how do they add on the isa or do u get a grade for core, additional and further additional

Depends which exams you did as there are slightly different variations of unit 3. To get a grade for each science you should have done an ISA for each science
