Resitting?

If you're resitting any of the AS or A2 exams from January, or want to know where you went wrong in the mock, then I'd recommend having a good read of the examiner's report.

It also includes such  gems as:

"Examination Tip: The use of ‘etc’ to truncate a list rarely gains credit in any answer"
"Some inventive candidates suggested the dichotamous key was so called because it was named after its inventor “Mr Dichotomous”."
"Examination tip: Candidates should not just repeat or adjust words that are in the stem of the question for an answer – it is unlikely to be credited."
"As ever, some candidates had not read the question stem carefully and lost a mark by failing to round to a whole number."
