it was only high grade boundaries as it was an "easy" paper. Although the paper itself wasn't easy, the reason for the grade boundaries being high in January 2012 as there were little questions that could distinguish between the "A" grade candidates and the "E" grade candidates.

My teacher rang the exam board and we were assured that tomorrow there will be questions to resolve this and be able to tell apart the "A" from the "E"
therefore, learn your content!

hopefully this exam won't be too bad.. I think the CGP covers pretty much everything you need to know

Hey killer_94

We don't need to know about them, they aren't in the specification

Does anyone know if we actually have to remember the formula for the simpson index of diversity? Is this something we might be asked to work out?

What on earth is 'spermatogenesis oogenesis???
I am in year 13 and am retaking this unit because A2 is just impossible and need all the marks I can get - but never heard of that!!

It basically just means how they are formed - genesis to do with anything means that, eg carcinogenesis is how cancer cells are formed.

And no I don't think we need to know how sperm / eggs are formed.
