Is anyone reading this a Principal Examiner and wouldn't mind a chat about the role? Thanks.

@Alby No higher praise

I discovered I could split screen the visualiser and microscope camera so I could model how to do biological drawing. Then everyone could draw the same cell so I could check for quality.

@Dr_Castelino It's the desktop app for Ipevo. You don't need an Ipevo for it to work it recognises any USB camera

@BikeWorcester What's the reason for having two barriers in the first place?

A quick update on some barrier removal in Worcester! Big thank you to everyone involved. #enableandencourage #activetravel @LynnDenham1 @myworcester @WorcsTravel @worcscc @Mbayliss14

@BiologyWalker @laura_shoe_lady @chatbiology @mrsjmasters There's usually very little difference in the grade distribution between the exam boards so I imagine so. Also AQA have a 50% share of AL bio entries.

@zephwright @laura_shoe_lady @chatbiology @mrsjmasters Nice one. Thanks for that. And it does show the same trend then. All cumulative grades up except the pass.

Do the higher grade boundaries combined with higher grade distribution (except E) suggest that at last we got more accessible papers? It felt it to me! @chatbiology @mrsjmasters

@BiologyWalker @laura_shoe_lady @chatbiology @mrsjmasters Results Statistics aqa.org.uk/exams-administ…

@laura_shoe_lady @chatbiology @mrsjmasters That was my feeling too, but with the data in front of me it's making me think maybe it was justified. Although the Ofqual data includes other boards. Not sure how to get AQA only outcome data

@mrsjmasters 52% increase for E grade.

Some massive jumps this morning for biology grade boundaries?! A* 74% A 63 B 53 C 44 D 35 E 26

Microsoft trolling every science teacher. Classy.

@Alby @chatbiology Cheers.

Thank you @chatbiology for my prize in the End of Year Quiz #howdoyoulookafteravenusflytrap

@Alby @chatbiology Just like a Y7

@Alby @chatbiology So, just like a Y9

Shh Krassi, you're spoiling it.

Woah woah woah The Telegraph. Don't tell everyone.

@BeaulieuBio @chatbiology @elslil Thanks. It was a close one. Just a shame Joe Biden has stolen the news cycle from us all.
