And I don't really like it, however I want to do both chemistry and biology at A level. I am currently at a grade A/A* in chemistry so higher definite but for Biology it is difficult I am trying to revise more biology as I love biology but it is difficult. I know the context very well, it's a lack of exam techniques to be honest. Any tips or advice on Biology? Thanks

      Najma Begum C1 = Paper 1 content (chemistry) B1 = Paper 1 content (biology) and same for physics. Sometimes there’s more than C3 like C10, which just signifies the chapter in a book for chemistry.

      @@aesthetic_pro1510 hello there, this comment was made ages ago lol crazy how I got a question, what I would do is personally check on the uni website on what grade they require. Foundation tier is from 1- 5 whereas higher tier is 4-9. It’s easier to get a 4-5 on higher tier than foundation as you need less marks. I ended up doing higher for all subjects including maths, and I would recommend, but I would still double check.
