AQA finally lowered the boundaries. We actually got them to listen.

Over the past few years, AQA biology exams contained many biology related questions yet this year most of the exam was only maths related. It simply isn't fair that we have to go through such a long time revising for topics on the AQA specification but hardly anything we learned came up on the exam. If you feel that AQA have let you down this year and have pushed their limits, sign this petition and send it to all your friends. The more we sign, the more AQA will notice! Also, I'd like to say a big thanks to David Cameron for encouraging exam boards to make exams even harder. Congrats kind sir, you've killed our aspirations.

One thousand signatures in such a short time. This proves the exam was completely unfair.

i did so many past papers in preparation for this exam, all of which were so much clearer and more relevant, i just think it is unfair that we were given a test that missed out major areas of B1 and had vague and badly worded (in my opinion) questions
The grade boundaries should be lowered, because of the B2 type questions included, which we were not taught. Furthermore, there was nothing on Lamarck or evolution etc, topics which had a lot of revision time spent on and were included in the specification.
About 20% of that test were parts that i actually revised for, the rest were completely irrelevent and had nothing to do with what anyone revised, you couldnt show of your knowledge here. Also a lot of this paper was b2, very disapointed !!!!
Do it. Biology should be about biology (duh)- hence the name. In my exam I had to answer so many maths questions, even though I had revised all in the revision book provided and used past papers and the Internet. I am a little bit angry.
Spent countless hours revising, for nothing that everyone has learnt to come up, went in extremely confident left the test almost in tears, for the questions given in this exam, it was almost like a maths test, time should have been extended
Outrageous test, hardly any science and content was not on spec, vague questions too. Horrible test, lower the boundaries
Better be low asf

Its disgraceful. I worked so hard,revising,testing,past papers,and I knew a lot about unit 1. The majority of the paper had nothing to do with what we have revised,or been taught. Its really knocked my confidence for future exams now thanks AQA
