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

Here you can ask any questions, whether it is about the exams, or the content...I would be happy to help!
We can also post any predictions on what we think will come up in the exams!
Does anybody think the grade boundaries will increase? And also how much does controlled assessment boast your grade up by?
I got 44 in Physics ISA, 45 in Biology ISA and 47 in Chemistry ISA (hoping that is around 98 UMS). I received the times of the exams that I have and there is a 30 min break between the end of P2 and start of P3, is this a mistake or is there a break in between?

Oh okay, I got low A's in my ISA. On my timetable it says that both exams are at 9:00.
Hey guys i do triple and AQA What do you guys think of unit 2 and 3 being on the same days? Which exam would be the easiest?
Hi
Well, really it's up to you! For me, I find C2 easier than C3, P3 easier than P2 and B2 and B3 both the same! But, hopefully we would have a toilet break of some sorts between exams

Well, grade boundaries reflect on how well the country does. So say the average scores are high (due to the paper being easy) the grade boundaries might be 52 for an A*... If the country does badly, it might be 44 for an A*

Yup I find unit 3 easier for physics and chemistry. Biology 2 and 3 the same like you Haha do you have any predictions?

Predictions no... Really what I'm worried is the examiners might have made these exams harder especially because it's the last set of exams under this spec (I think)
