Biology

[mumofone1234]

The AQA GCSE Biology syllabus looks really hard-going! I remember covering these topics at A Level Biology (but then I did Double Science GCSE, and not the individual sciences, so it might be due to that.)

Am I imagining/misremembering, or are subjects really much harder than when I took my GCSEs and A Levels over two decades ago?

I suspect that part of the perceived differences between iGCSE mark-schemes and those for GCSE listed by previous posters is down to policy differences in their published mark-schemes.
I think that some only publish model answers with fully correct terminology whereas others give a more comprehensive idea about possible alternative correct answers. Mark schemes would be very long if all possible correct answers were included.
