aqa thinks 15 yr olds are pissheads yh

sfe

same i fully memorised the drug bit of the spec :frown:

when i opened the paper i went straight to the 6 marker and was like :colonhash:

I wouldn't be that scared tbh, considering the highest the grade boundaries have been out of the past 3 years was 47 for an A*. That means you can afford to lose 13 marks and still get an A* assuming that the grade boundaries don't go any higher.

i've lost 7 marks just by looking at this thread
it's not looking good :frown:

What were they? :K:

I think we both need to stop looking at the answers on here.. :getmecoat:

39/60 - A*

yeah true should we probably revise so that the other exams don't go like this

For the thrush gaining lots of energy from the snail, is it right to say that the snail wastes little energy from movement so the thrush gets a high % of energy transfer?

what did people get for the gm mosquito? That you remove the gene from the bacteria with a restriction enzyme and put it into the mosquito?

I wrote it the opposite way.
I said cut it at early stage of development.
Put the mosquito gene in the bacteria so it reproduces rapidly.
Using enzymes and stufff

I got 0.6

I think the examiners may give you that one because of a rounding error from 0.667% but I doubt it - I think they will let off 0.7% though
