Me too, would we get 1 mark as we just divided it the wrong way round?

You didn't divide it the wrong way round you were right

For the question about the temperature sensor compared to the thermometer i said that the temperature sensor automatically recorded temperatures at specific/certain times, would i get the marks??

I got 60% haha I did awful. I also put mayfly larvae as they're sensitive to dissolved oxygen and then the last question i put dissolved oxygen metres.
The horse one was ridiculous!! And the mosquitoes I had no clue.
Hoping for an A so I'm praying the grade boundaries are low as everyone found it hard.

Lichens - Used to detect changes in air pollution / sulfur dioxide levels

Could you say that the temperature sensor gave more rapid results?

I think so, I put about a better resolution so it's more reliable but I'm not sure?

I think I got 48 as a minimum provided all the answers given are correct and the examiner is a super harsh maker

I said that the independent company meant it wasn't affiliated with other scientists or companies, do you think that could get the marks?

I put that as well, but apparently the question specified about a living indicator that was an animal - meaning bloodworms or another living animal indicator...

Can you say no correlation between axes for the scatter graph question?

I swear that's right?

I'm sure it is right. You should have done the amount killed over infected (or something like that) as a fraction times by 100 for percentage. The answer is 0.6 recurring
