Edexcel B Biology Predicted for Medicine

Got a B on my June mocks and the UCAS system predicts me to an A but my school system says otherwise and predicts me to a B.
The resources for this exam board is extremely limited like I can't find any other relevant resources than PMT which is quite stressful.
I'm really willing to bring my predicted grade for biology up by September but feel so lost every time I start revising and honestly, it's so tiring.
Is it possible to bring my grade up to an A or maybe(apologies if I'm too greedy) to an A*?

Hi I just recently finished year 13 and did this same exam board. The school should have given you some textbooks? I used the 2 textbooks that are specific to the exam board, watched videos (not specific to my spec unfortunately), did the exam questions on PMT from the old questions bit of each topic and then I added any key notes to post its. I really tried with anki/flashcards but it just didn't work for me because I'm too inconsistent. Mr Exham does a few youtube videos on some of the topics that are great. Ask your teacher to help if you don't do well on the longer level based questions. What made me feel a bit better about it is the fact that literally everyone is in the same position. Everyone complains about the resources.
In terms of how to improve your predicted grade it really depends on your school. You've said that UCAS is predicting you an A? The school is the one submitting these predicted grades to UCAS not UCAS itself so I'm a bit confused on what exactly has happened there.

So the prediction, my teacher literally said this
"In UCAS, you're predicted an A but in the school system, you got predicted a B. You're okay but to be on the safer side, improve on the September mocks"
I really have no idea how this kind of prediction works guys 😭

I think you need to find out exactly what that teacher meant with that statement - and if they refuse to explain this to you, then talk to your Head of Sixth or similar. UCAS has nothing to do with devising anyone's predicted grade.

I tried anki and gizmo, they seem fun but they're not the right type of studying for me... If you don't mind, would you mind letting me know what your predicteds are?

Sure, I'm predicted A*A*A with the A in bio. I don't actually think I'll be getting those grades though and I think predictions are kinda inaccurate.

Did you also do chem maths and bio? It could be accurate sometimes... Fingers crossed🤞 for you

yeah. Standard med combo.

Sorry wait that was mistyped
May I dm you?

hi just wanted to ask, what grade did u get and how the hell do i revise for it, i completely failed my nov mocks for biology and i just cannot wrap my head around it honestly…

I ended up with an A in bio. Blurting stuff from the textbook in mind map form (using the specification from online) and also from youtube videos is mainly what I did. I also did the PMT old spec questions and then the full papers as well.

what youtubers did u watch?

if I wanted an explanation then literally anything that would be based on that topic. I'd just type it into youtube and watch enough bits of videos to understand. Some good youtubers I reccommend are biologywithoilivia, mr exham, mrs estruch and free science lessons. These aren't specific to the exam board so I'd just cross reference the material with the exam spec pdf online and also with my textbook.
Also just as a side note I wouldn't bother using any revision guides or anything. Just the standard textbooks.
