    I genuinely think I failed paper 1 biology. I really appreciate this video- gives me some hope that i can get those marks back for paper 2 and still get that top grade. Thank you.

      It's absolutely fine! Just focus calmy on it in the half term as it is after that, and i promise, as long as you're calm, you'll do the best you can and that's great 😃👍

      If you're taking combined science remember it's only 1/6th of your total grade, and like he said, it is what it is, there's not really anything you can do about it anymore apart from seeing what went wrong. Me personally I found that exam to be alright.

    Definitely subscribing. I had an awful exam recently and my friend literally left the exam hall screaming because she was so happy. Alhamdulillah, I am proud of her and thankful it went well for her. I was just heartbroken when I struggled on it. But this is amazing advice, jazakallah khair :)
