    Calm down, do you not have a textbook that has the topics in? It's mainly about cell structure, pathogens, immunity, heart and CVD and respiratory system and lung disease. If you need any help just ask.

    Remember, there is ALWAYS a 3 marker on how enzymes work.

    this exam was not that easy
    on the first page there was a question asking about the function of Z.
    i thought it was a ribosome, I wrote the right answer about aerobic resipiration but i wrote ribosome aswell. it was 1 mark, will i get a mark?? ( i realised my mistake aftter the exam.

    I found it easier too...
    What was question 7 again?
    I hope the grade boundaries are enough to get me a high B, possibly a low A...
    How do you think you did?
    I hated the calculating the breathing rate question... I did the stupidest mistake

    I didn't right aerobic, will that cost me a mark?
    I hate when that happens on when we realise stuff after the exam- I don't get why the human mind works that way, its so annoying!

    Same here! i thought it was a decent paper apart from Q7 - i kno i lost so many marks on that one aah
    i rekon boundries will be quite high because most people found it okay-ish but im hoping they'l be low!

    The calculation was 6/30 so it would have been 0.2

    same I agree i actually wrote a whole load of rubbish but included so many key words to do with the topic.

    it doesnt matter if you dont write aerobic, but im worried about me writing 'ribosome'. i was so stupid, i was tryna be extra, it didnt even say state the organelle. i think im gna lose a mark on the first question.
