Overall it wasnt as difficult as i expected. I had one question I simply couldnt answer, about the parasite worm thingy (i looked it up as soon as i finished) it threw me completely and lost me 8 marks :frown:

Oh I came across it in one of the past papers and it was worth 8 marks as well. I wonder if I can scrape enough marks for a decent grade

Yes, I know they were both asking different things. I meant I came across a question about schistosomiasis which then made me read about it in the book :smile:
