    I wrote about making sure that impulses only travel in one direction, filtering out low signals and divergence

    I wrote the same thing .
    i wrote about so that it can transmit action potentials and mentioned so transmitters and like information can be passed to each other and gave an example with motor neurone saying they carry impulses from CNS to effector?

    How did you find this out?! I thought they release the grade boundaries a day before results?

    Do you know the boundaries for F215?

    A - 67
    B - 61
    C - 55
    D - 49
    E - 43

    Someone found OCR had accidentally posted it early on their website earlier. Oops...

    I assume they are slightly higher than usual due to the repeated question (muscles) blunder...

    Why are they basically all the same? 44 in F211, 44 in F214, 67 in F212, 67 in F215, 36 in both ISA's to get an A, then virtually the same across all units for the grades.

    What do you think of this? It seems they've just been fixed like many articles have said and haven't been scaled to relative difficulty.
