You'll need to get 420/600 overall (I think). So in A2 you need 223 UMS minimum to get a B.

Ahh i thought so, i worked it out myself and i got 223 ums so just wanted to make sure. i'm going to try and get a B without any resits. do you think thats possible? Thanks btw :smile:

Yeah it should be doable, all depends on the amount of work you are willing to put in since Biology is mainly just memorising stuff, especially with AQA. I'm planning on resitting my EMPA just to make it a bit easier to get an A this year, but it's not necessary. On that note, if you have the money and don't think it'll be much extra work then why not resit :smile:
