thats what i initally wrote, but then crossedd it out and wrote South Africa for some reason :s-smilie:
what do you guys think the grade boundaries will be like ? :/



I think it be low maybe 31 for an A* and 36 for 100 UMS

Since the wordings was difficult
I'm not entirely sure I don't want to tell you the wrong answer, but at least it's only one mark. I know there were really badly worded questions though. I mean that title about justification, it was a bit weird

Malnurrition i just wrote - They eat too much food and have bad diet
Malnutrition = thin, weak immune system
Health problems = anorexia, diarrhoea

I wrote not similar to humans, the amount of caffeine was unrealistic (six cups), and then something else but I can't remember

Yeh I thought so
I did four lines for first question and I'm not sure if your only meant to do three


For last question I put, deforestation decreases photosynthesis so co2 take up less, burn the tress so co2 released, burn fuel from palm tree so co2 released, fossil fuels produced which are non renewable and contribute to global warming and then some other stuff

I wrote trees take in carbon dioxide and release o2 which goes to the atomosphere and when clearing the forsits the carbon dixiode in the trees is released which damages the Atomophere, hence heat is radiated back to earth which damages the envioment. Plus some other waffles

to be quite honest i just want to curl up in a ball and cry. i didnt expect those sort of questions especially when i get A* in all the past papers.
Some answers i remember i put down. Mozambique, 18% increase, mean was 3980, i put malnourishment is when you eat too little and theres not enough food in the body?
