I added all percentage and divided by 400, and it gave me something like 64%. then it minues it from 100 and proved that some people didnt ddrink anything.

I'm so dumb, I got the percentage question wrong as I divided the other way round ;(

And, pray tell, what's wrong with 51 marks? That's either an A* or an A for sure. You should be happy, I reckon most of us have got Cs or less. :cry:

The thing is that the questions didn't really require biology knowledge, so i think the grade bounderies will be pretty high. Like think about it, the Alcoholic 15 years old ? Independent companies ?

There's always application and maths based content. The maths demand of this paper was a notch higher than previous years, but it's always 10% ish of the whole paper.

If you want to be really depressed look up the 2012 grade boundaries ;-) (First year of the spec, nobody had a clue what was going on etc etc)

Yes, but as you said, that was the first paper of the spec, and no one had a clue to what is going on. That is why the grade boundaries were lower. they rose instantly the year after, dont u think?

I know right.. was thinking the same thing, wth is wrong with 51 marks?! If anything, less than 25-30 should be something to cry about.

dont think that is an A*, and i really need that A* in biology. Also scared for the other science exams :'(

Yeah I know. It just amuses me. Imagine flunking half the paper and still getting an A*!

Nothing hard about it. Just people freaking out cos it makes a good headline. Alcohol is in the spec, as is drug testing

Really? Isn't that an organ on the head so it's controlled by the brain??

Posted from TSR Mobile

I was about to say that - anything that's on the head is controlled by the brain so I'm afraid it's wrong

What did people put for why the 50million years old horse had feet that were well-adapted for its environment? I put large surface area so it wouldn't sink but crossed it out because the question specifically said why is it good that it has lots of joints, or would this still be correct?
