AQA GCSE Biology Exam 2016

Basic knowledge is most important - why questions that are not related !

Well gutted had revised to find hardly any biology

Thx for ruining my future aqa!!! Some people actually NEEDED science in their life!!!! See we cant ALL take the job of ruining the future of kids SOME of us want to do something productive in their lives you know like NOT writing about dead rats!!!! Hope you had pleasure killing our hopes for the future!!

Thats was legit point less

Schools and pupils are given a curriculum to follow so a explanation and apology is expected from a professional body responsible for setting at least two questions outside the curriculum subject and asking pupils to consider data that examines illegal drinking by minors, which is inappropriate to both the minors sitting the exam and to the efficacy of the education system. I would also expect pupils to be given a default pass mark for these questions.

This test was the worst I have ever sat especially seeing as it was the first GCSE I have sat thank you AQA for raising spirits to all those who have had this happen to them aswell!!

I spent all year revising Biology topics. To my surprise when I had finished the exam my headteacher had looked through a paper and had told us that only "9/44 topics" in Biology came up! I am absolutely livid.

We received a unfair paper which had nothing to do biology itself

I was very shocked to see that the exam HD not a single questionon the carbon cycle. I had spent hours revising for it, time wasted!

the exam was a joke!

I feel sorry for the students who went in there and didn't take Business in Year 9

The questions were stupid, some of them not on the syllabus. But the worst thing about the paper was the excessive amounts of the paper based on one topic, asking questions that werent what we were expecting. An entire question about 15 year olds favourite alcoholic drink, that is just borderline wrong, 15 year olds should not be drinking alcohol really, so it shouldnt be promoted in an exam paper. I wouldnt be suprised the the person who came up with this paper was drunk on alcopops themself

Very gutted for them all when I heard this from my daughter when she came out of her exam after revising all the syllabus they were set.

What is an Independent Company - what has this got to do with Biology? Crazy!

I have taken the OCR AS maths C1 exam I understand how bad thus years exams are

Totally agree.

I am writing to you regarding the recent core biology GCSE paper, "well supposedly biology". The exam paper that you set for us was worded so badly I spent most of my time reading the question, and I found the relevance of the topic was ridiculous, what does injecting a rat with alcohol prove, I found there was more businesses studies in that test than biology . As a 15 years, old as well, i was very unhappy with question regarding 15 year olds drinking and I would go as far as saying that I felt discriminated against. I have been studying hard for these exams and about half way through I found very little of the topics actually in the test, and this added to my anger and I could really do with out this pressure around my exam time

Questions was stupid !!

The students study hard for their GCSEs it is unfair for the questions to be so off point an have inappropriate subject matter for a fifteen year old. Which also discriminates against fifteen year olds.

i feel that they have cheat students teachers and schools across the country
