i think it was about how fish can ventilate their gills by opening their mouth and closing their operculum, but axolotls can't because their gills are external?

I didnt click it was ventilation annoyingly! so i wrote a bit about how they have more stream line heads which means they can move in low oxygen environments requiring a lower energy and oxygen demand and then i did metion the mouth being used as ventilation but didnt even mention the operculum and saif that the atholotal cant do this as the gill are external. Then spoke about how both have counter current flow and that the axoltl can diffuse some gases through it's skin but this is inefficient in low oxygen environments.

So basically didn't explain ventilation as it didn't click but hey i should still get 5/9 marks and since the grade boundaires will be low and i feel i did okat on the rest of the paper, it should be okat over all

i didnt click either, just went on and on about counter current and extensive capillaries in bony fish:s-smilie:
why would the grade boundaries be low?

I'm so shocked at why people think they would be high.
Right so last year (the old spec) and A was 71%. That spec was easy, the paper was a lot more accessible for a lot more people, there was more time and less application, people have really struggled and i dont believe it will be higher than 75% for an A, even then i expect it to be aounrf 68%.

As for the 9 marker, you and me shoudl still get around 5/6 marks out of 9 so dont worry too much

really? thats cool
teachers at my college made it very clear that our predicted grades will be what we get on our AS only if you get a high mark in your grade then only can you be predicted a grade higher what you'd get in exams:s-smilie:

same here but obvs it depends on how nice our teachers are. My college is 3000 people big and so i dont think it will be too hard to persuade a predicted grade of A for biology
