so basically i worked so so hard for my A levels and keep in mind i had chronic myeloid leukemia the entire time but i was so determined to get an A* for accounting. i got my results and i was so close to an A* SO I sent it for recorrection and i got my outcome and IM LITERALLY 1 MARK AWAY FROM AN A*. i wanna crash out so so bad because i was SO CLOSE LIKE SO SO CLOSE. i tried to make my school appeal to edexcel but they said being close to a grade boundary is not a reason to appeal. IDK WTF TO DO IM SO SO PISSED CUZ WHYD THEY RAISE THE GRADE BOUNDARIES SO HIGH. is there anything else i can do please help i really really need this.

So, I took S1 in June 2026. I’m currently in the Gulf, so the exams were cancelled and I had to take a mock exam instead. When I received my results, I was shocked to see that I got 45 UMS out of 100, even though I was sure that I had done well.

I checked my script and marked the exam myself strictly according to the official marking scheme, and I found that I would have scored around 100 UMS. I’m not sure what happened, but several of my friends faced the same issue.

Am just scared I remark and they don’t give me my actual grade so did anyone face the same problem and remarked and he got his actual grade

I went through Edexcel IAL Physics examiner feedback from 2020–2025 and found 15 feedback entries related to mass/weight confusion.

I didn't expect something this basic to show up so often.

The common issue is basically this:

mass ≠ weight

• mass → kg, scalar, does not change with gravitational field strength
• weight → N, force, vector
• weight = mg

For example, if an object has a mass of 2 kg, writing “weight = 2 kg” is already mixing up two different physical quantities.

Another mistake appears when the context changes — Moon, satellites, lifts, different gravitational fields, etc.

The mass stays the same.

The weight changes because g changes.

A quick exam check that I now use with students is simply:

kg → mass
N → force / weight

And on a free-body diagram, mg represents the weight force, not the mass.

What surprised me wasn't the physics itself, but how often such a basic distinction still appeared in examiner feedback.

I'm currently going through the reports and grouping recurring mistakes by topic.

Has anyone noticed other “basic” physics mistakes that examiners seem to mention again and again?

someone pls help me

Do any of yall know any online academies/courses that offer classes for the human biology oct/nov session for affordable prices

It would be very much appreciated if you let me know any

how hard is IA2 physics compared to the IAS cause im considering taking them both in the same session if it ends up easy (+2 igcses in same session) its the m/j 2027 session im thinking of taking all of IAL phy and igcse accounting and bussiness.... any thoughts?

Help!!!

Is there anywhere I can download a copy of this book?

WHICH ARE ALL THE QUESTIONS AND DEFINITIONS I MUST MEMORIZE FOR PHY U2 FOR OCT 2026 SESSION

anyone taking their science paper 1s in november? i’m trying to study right now but i don’t have any motivation and whenever i do a past paper i always get around 75 so i keep thinking that im fine but ugh i know i need to study
also i cant find any past papers for any modular subject it’s so annoying but im thankful that im not doing linear

also i have my english paper 1 in november, any advice or tips?? i need it

HELLO EVERY ONE I STUDY THE PEARSON EDECEL CRICULAM AND I HAVE FINISHED MY IGSCES WHICH SUBJECTS DO U RECOMEND ME TO CHHOSE AND IS BUSSINESS EASY OR NO

During the delivery of my school’s P2 maths papers, they were lost(idk how)
So my P2 is not marked
Instead, they decided to calculate our UMS so that my P2 UMS mark is one mark less then my P1 mark(Everyone is like this)
I mean P2 this year was HARD.
Anyways my school is giving us the opportunity to resit in October (Edexcel obviously pays the fees) and they will take the higher mark.Or we can just keep our calculated grade.What should I do?

How are you, Edexcel friends? Will I need to buy all the course books, or are the online teachers sufficient?

I am sitting 2 AS levels (chem and physics) in October and i am doing self study, i do mocks and correct them by myself. I normally score 65-72/80 in mocks. However it might be due to me being too soft to myself so i deducted fewer points. Also, in the next few weeks idk if i will be able to study really hard sooooo do yall think im able to get an A if the exams were tomorrow? Im getting lazier and lazier these days i cant get myself to study.

Are there cases where people got a B or C even when they constantly score 70/80 in their mocks?

Btw im not sure if this is acceptable but it would be great if someone is free to mark my mocks, thanks!

DONT JUST SEE THIS POST AND LEAVE......... i end up seeing so many views on my post and dont get replied. ANYWAY, the prob i face in bio u1 is that ik the concept but the ms makes me lose marks. moreover many ppl say that you see patterns of the ms points. welp I DONT..... MANY PPL ALSO SAY THAT TO STUDY EFFECTIVELY THE MS. im sorry WHAT? do i know how to study ms effectively? NO. SO PLS PLS PPL WHO GOT GOOD GRADES HELP ME

in literally almost every past paper has ultrasound question and im sitting for oct 2026 session so which all points should i literally memorize to write in exam and what can i expect from this topic and what all should i memorize

I’ve done AS economics but I wanna add business studies to the mix however I start year 13 next week and I can’t register for January session. How hard is it to do all 4 units in one session, 8/9 months from now?

Any feedback appreciated!

Hello my cousin did Igcse now for A levels hes deciding whether to choose Pierson Wdexcel board or Cambridge.. For Chem, bio and Physics btw (wants to become a surgeon) Also someone tell me whats the difference in difficulty and what do unis usually prefer
