Oh, ****ing hell, I wrote urea, then crossed it out and put amino acids :angry:

As if!!
But I liked some of it, other bits I hated. I was gutted Alzheimer's, Ultrafiltration and HLA antigens didn't come up because I revised those to death, because my teacher thought they'd be definites.

I loved the question on the nervous system, the fill in the blank one? That's like, my favourite exam question ever. In fact no, tell a lie. GCSE Astronomy "Which is bigger?

A) The Earth
B) The Moon
C) The Sun
D) Jupiter (or some other smaller astronomical object)"

Gotta love Edexcel's multiple choice xD

Out of interest what were the last two answers on the nervous system one? Couldn't for the life of me remember what they were!

I got the urea one right though, and the CO2/lungs question. Though that's only 3 marks! I could still fail epically!

What did everyone put for the percentage difference one?

Yeah I think I got around 80 too! I'm glad someone else put that, I thought I'd got it way off!

i got 20 something for the percentages but most other people got like 80%...my teacher told me the correct answer was 20 something so yeah...i think you work out the individual percentages from the two different people and then find the difference then, that paper was so annoying...just fully of diabetes stuff, didn't even cover half of the syllabus...just hope i did enough!

The one that stimulates the body was sympathetic and the one that relaxes it was parasympathetic. And I got 83% xD
