it was ok i put the stupid mistake of not adding the "fixing" to the nitrate cycle words and i also had a mind block and i forgot that plants need ammonia.On the final 6 mark question i think i forgot one of the ways of natural selection and did we need an example?

I put the one about the short and long neck giraffe
You don't need to make every point I don't think as in the mark scheme there are more points than you need to make so you could still be in with a chance of getting all the marks :-)

You don't lose marks for getting a point wrong you just need to put other correct stuff to get the marks
I think anyway
Are there any unofficial mark schemes?

the answer was 6.5 right?
Well the exam was easy and I think I will probably get A* on the paper... but the thing is on my coursework/controlled assessment whatever I got B (1 mark off an A)... anyone got any idea what marks I need to get out of 60 on the exam to push up my grade to an A*?

a lot of people mentioned speciation.
Was that a must? I didn't include it.
