ppl who have bought exam predictions before, were they good?

What do you mean by 'bought' a grade prediction.

What do you mean by 'bought' a grade prediction.

It's like one of those 'leaked' 2025 papers where it never actually is real, just questions that could come up.
You could use it as like a final mock before the real thing, but there isn't much point in paying for it when you can choose from many years of past papers for free.

Not when you’ve done those past papers multiple times, it’s good to have that predicted as like a “new test” but mostly like I said it’s just to give yourself that hope tbh

There is always another past paper, unless your course is very new.
If you have the money to waste, and you aren't going to get into trouble, I don't see why not.
I could guarantee that whatever in the predicted paper will not come up in the real one.

Oh no I think you have the wrong idea of what a predicted paper is.
Back in GCSEs for maths, our teacher would use predicted questions as practice and the predicted papers were free they don’t always cost anything and are good to use. Also I bought primrose kittens biology predicted paper back in GCSEs and it actually helped a lot because she’s rlly good at deciding what topics are likely to come up based off of previous years, it’s not a bad thing and some teachers even recommend it! Also may I ask where you get “more” past papers? I do AQA chemistry and I’m in yr 12 so AS, I’ve done or at least gone through/seen every past paper available 2016 to 2023 + specimens, so what else am I supposed to do? Where can I get those other past papers?

To the people who have bought a level exam predictions (especially chemistry and biology) and have finished their a levels with a good grade, Were they accurate or some of it was similar? If so which ones did you get? Thank youuuu

I wouldn’t go trusting predicted papers tbh. Considering how few people actually sit AS exams nowadays, most (if not all) predicted papers you will find will be imitations of full A level papers and therefore largely inaccessible.
See what other exam boards have to offer and maybe consider looking at some old spec past papers, too?

What alternative exam board would you recommend for aqa chem n bio

For bio, I honestly have no idea.
I’d say the best match for AQA chemistry is Edexcel as the papers follow broadly the same structures. Off the top of my head, the only major differences that come to mind are with haloalkanes (Edexcel expects you to learn that 3° haloalkanes hydrolyse more rapidly than 2° haloalkanes and 1° haloalkanes for AS. AQA teaches that 3° haloalkanes are impervious to nucleophilic substitution, which is an oversimplification. Additionally, AQA expects you to be able to draw the mechanism for the elimination of haloalkanes to give alkenes, but Edexcel does not)

Actually I can think of two further differences. For the inorganic, Edexcel expects you to learn mass spec entirely differently to AQA (AQA uses the TOF method and requires you to be aware of three methods of ionisation - electron impact, electrospray and fast atom bombardment. Edexcel uses the standard method with the electromagnet to deflect ions according to mass).
Edexcel also requires you to be aware of the thermal decomposition reactions of the nitrates and carbonates of group 2 metals (including the trend in thermal stability, which is an increase down the group due to decreasing polarising powers of the cations), whereas AQA does not.
