I had no clue there was a workbook - I'm looking for it on Amazon but they seem really expensive as in (6 pound for both the workbook and answers for each subject). As I recently just bought 2 CGP books with my own money, my school sold the maths ones for 2.50 so it's a big leap from 2.50 to 6 pound.

Although, what I'm doing is I was doing the revision questions summary and then ones I don't know I go back to my revision guide and memorize and learn the answer. Plus, on top of that, I'm stressing about History as I'm so damn focused on Biology.. :angry:

No point buying biology or chemistry ones now, but you could buy the physics ones because they're so useful. Yeah the summary is alright but the question book makes sure you know every little detail.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT THOUGHT THAT LOL! C4 is fooking easy like Tulisa getting caught selling crack and C5 calculations is easy, I'm just focusing on C6.

Yes I was thinking of leaving the Chemistry ones and just order the Physics ones as my revision schedule has not included physics once. I feel confident in B4 and B5, I don't really think there's a need for me to go over B5 as my coursework grade (thanks to my ****ty teacher) means I can't get an A* overall. However how hard is it to get 124/ 160 UMS, not that hard right?

124 is easy, the first half of the exam marks get you loads of UMS for each mark, then it begins to slow down as you near full marks (each mark is worth less UMS) so I would guess that 124/160 is roughly half raw marks. You'll be fine!

I hope so, maybe I need a bit of penetration inserting fluids into me which could boost my memory :colone:

hey

how many UMS do you need in the exam to get A* overall?

with me, i retook b1, b2 b3 in january 2013 and got 140 ums, my C/A in bio is 46/48 (i don't know how many UMS)

so far:

bio: 140/140 ums
chem: 140/140 ums
physics: 120/140 ums (don't ask)

OK now time for a chocolate trifle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have you done the specimen paper yet babes ? <3

I'm scared, we got literally the same marks for biology exam and C/W! Weird. Anyway I'm pretty sure it's 360/400 (90%) UMS for an A*. Also I don't know how much CW marks are in UMS. You should be able to get mid-high As in this exam and come out with A*s (providing your C/W is good in chem and phys).
