That is possibly one of the most annoying things Capt. I was in a similar situation for English Literature, had 7 seperate teachers who all left within 2 weeks of starting, supplies for months inbetween and not a soul had a clue what was going on. Because some of the class were re-sitting Igcse Language, most if not all of the teachers assumed we all were and wouldn't believe otherwise so I was taught a course I'd already got an A in but nothing about the Exam I had coming up. Manage...

Managed to blag a C. As long as you put an answer to every question, even if its a remote guess, its better to have a chance at 1 mark out of 5 rather than none. Best of luck to you all!

Well I still think you will have picked up more than you think, you need to be trying specific questions rather than generic stuff that's hard. As of Sept I will no longer be a science teacher, I have had enough for a bit, I may well tutor but it will be a bit late for you then. As Teddybhoy says make sure you put something, try to make it plausible, if you don't write anything you guarantee 0 marks, a guess may get you something.

Oh and don't do what some of my triple bio students did on Monday and fail to find the last two questions, remember "end of questions" is the finish line. They lost 12 marks on the last 2 q's in the Higher AQA B2 paper.

I did the opposite once in a history exam (thankfully a practice) I ignored the instructions where it said answer 2 sections and went and did the full lot lol.

I never understood Chemistry at all, and I mean like, literally no idea. My teacher was dreadful, I would often ask to have things explained another way only to be told, "There is no other way t to explain it"

Ended up getting straight Bs in my sciences, by sheer fluke. I still don't know how I managed it for Chemistry even to this day.

Got straight Bs in English and I got a C in maths because I was in the exact same situation as you with regard to having nothing but su...

It's all the same paper nationwide mate, I only had trouble on the 'why is hydrochloric acid more reactive than ethanoic acid' question.

the only question i could answer was about ionic bonding. That's all i have learnt in 3 years. Its embarrassing

oh damn, luckily there was loads on collision theory and rates of reaction which i know so hopefully i did okay!

Well, one of the things that will happen when results come out is that all the teachers sit around and compare how well you did, and how their teaching impacted on your final grades. They will look at something called a residual, which is basically a score of how different their mark is from your average GCSE results. So if you get an A average and score a grade below in chem the chem teacher gets a -6 residual. Worst I've seen is a teacher got a -18 on one student.

Questions will be asked about the teacher if they get lots of -ve scores. Your parents/guardians might want to get involved if your grades are significantly worse in Chem than the rest of your subjects.
