    I thought the timing was a bit difficult :/ I only JUST finished in time, and I know that a lot of my friends didn't manage to finish in time.
    Annoying that there was so much about farming in there haha, the most boring part of biology EVER

    This. The timing of that paper was ridiculous. There was not enough time for the questions they gave us. It was an awful paper, so much ecology and farming, I felt like was sitting an environmental science paper.

    I think that the timing of the exam paper was really ridiculous, Based on my 'findings' and on general concensus, this paper was abit hard, so i predict that the grade boundaries will be these;

    A; 50
    B; 42
    C; 37
    D; 33

    These ARE APPROXIMATES,
    Could every one post any questions that appeared on the Unit 4 biology paper so we can recap what we wrote?? That will help us all, im abit frazzled you see

    It was a complete poo. Should've revised chemistry beforehand so I could have at least known some of the questions on biofuels :l
