    If you do all the exam papers of the new courses for biology and chemistry is it possible to get an A?

    Thanks in advance
    :D

    While i'd say it's possible to get an A, the chance of things that have never come up before puts that A in danger. For example last year, if you had only done exam papers then you would not have known how the bomb calorimeter works.

    Although at this stage focusing on exam papers is a very good idea for exam technique and the like, and you will learn a hell of a lot, they shouldn't be your entire study of the subject.

    Cue Spurious telling you to use the syllabus.

    Possible but potentially dangerous.
