Biology gcse mock help!!!

I have my GCSE mocks starting next week. I've predicted that they're gonna give us the GCSE Exam for 2024 students (Year 11- who are done with it) as the paper has not been released yet and they probably wouldn't want to give us a past paper as they know we practice those. So I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with which topics came in the BIOLOGY mock this year and which ones didn't - if there were any past paper questions? It would really really help me out.

i doubt they're going to give u the 2024 paper
they're probably gonna give u that in your y11 mocks
y10 mocks aren't that serious

The point is to get used to answering exam-style questions and what the MS allows and doesn't allow, not to see what questions will be coming up in your test (you won't have that advantage in your actual GCSEs).
Do some of the past papers between 2017 and 2022, and perhaps some EQs from your textbook & CGP workbook if you've got it.

I did loads of past papers but I'm certain I'll forget everything the minute I walk in for the exam. I have it tomorrow btw. Both Chemistry and Biology

Hi. Biology went okay I guess, but chemistry was absolutely horrible. And guess what! They were both 2023 papers. If only I had known before the mocks I wouldn't been prepared cuz the 2023 papers don't show up online unless you search for them specifically. I've still got physics. And I found the 2023 paper which is gonna be the mock. So hopefully that goes good

Ah well, you couldn't have known. I mean my teachers did a bit of a mix and match for my mocks, but I guess it depends on the teachers.
I'm sure you did much better than you think you did - everyone always remembers what they did bad in and not the questions they smashed. Good luck for your physics exam tho
