Edexcel A2 Biology exams (6BIO4) 25th January 2012 exam discussion

Was it a lymphocyte or a phagocyte?

Was it a lymphocyte or a phagocyte?

try looking on the Edexcel website for a list of topics. i'm doing the 'Can different types of images trigger the fight or flight response?' My biology teachers given it a tarted up title that I can't remember.

My coursework topic was given to me, I didnt have a choice, knowing I HATE plants, my teacher decided to give me "the effect of trampling on the abundance of grassland plants" was nice of her wasnt it :|

certainly feel the same .. but my teacher made us do graphs questions through out the year deffo going to be thanking her .. there was barely anything on forensics

lovely. At AS we could pick between 4 different visit reports depending on which trip we'd done.

some of the questions were pretty hard, and confusing such as the way the represented the reactions in photosynthesis. Other questions were relatively easy, such as the HIV questions. I think alot of people found it hard though, cos' it had alot of graph interpretation in it, therefore grade boundaries are likely to be low, 56-60/90 for an a i reckon.

I really really hope they are low...I need an A :O :'(

so yeah it has to be a phagocyte !!!! cuz tht will onyl eat !!

it said lymphocyte in the question

Well my college has very high standards and expectations, out of about 30 of us doing A2 Biology, about 3 came out saying it wasnt overly terrible, the rest have already started revising for resits. I need an A too, i could get away with a B, but then i cant go to Southampton

Wow...lol. There's about 15 of us and our college isn't exactly the best for grades, most people are on C's I think, but everyone thought it was awful. Seriously, I'm thinking of paying for a re-sit now it went so terribly. I just really hope they are generous with the boundaries. I can't even get away with a B because my uni course is so competitive This exam has made me so depressed...

My Friends from private schools found it hard too, grade boundaries should definitely be nice! haha. what uni course is it? and same, but chemistry made it worse!

Speech and language therapy. What's your course? it makes me feel better now that private school students found it hard thanks haha. I completely agree with that about chemistry as well! Had that exam today and I'm pretty sure I'll be retaking that one too lol it's not going well

Biomedical Science at one uni, its got a specialism in cancer Biology haha. + yeah, chemistry was horrid, hopefully the only exam i have to retake in June, got Psychology tomorrow, but i got a B in my mock with no revision so im fairly confident

Wow I'm doing all the same subjects as you I have psychology tomorrow too, are you on ocr? I've done no revision and I got a B in my mock too but I doubt I will get the same if Individual Differences approach comes up

1 mark off an A at AS is my motivation to smash biology
