    Oh right. Which language is it? I love languages

    Perhaps you could look on exam boards' websites to see when and where the exams are for it?

    It could have been worse or better I think. What did you put for the differences between mammals and reptiles?

    I think I put something along the lines of mammals have mammary glands (reptiles don't) mammals have hair or fur (reptiles don't) and mammals have non-scaly skin (reptiles have scaly) My teacher thought these were probably ok

    Yeah I put:

    1) Mammary glands
    2) Hair/fur
    3) Four-chambered heart (I was really stuck! I think reptiles only have two or three chambers in their hearts).
