    Can you post here the link that you're trying to follow? The thread may have been removed due to breaking our site rules, but I can't tell without knowing which thread you're referring to.

    I think it was removed as it looks like they were posting answers before midnight, any chance the thread could be re-opened now that midnight has passes (the exam was over 24 hours ago) when i click on it it just says that i don't have access so theres no link as such, but the thread is called 'edexcel gcse biology b3 may 15th 2012'

    What are you clicking on? Instead of left-clicking, right click, choose to copy the link and then paste it here.

    Thanks for the link - nervouspupil123 is correct as the thread's been removed as it breaks our rules on discussion of Edexcel exams before all candidates worldwide have completed it. Take a look at my announcement here, as it's very important to note this when posting in the Study Help forums: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/anno...hp?f=373&a=629

    As a side note, by posting in any forums here you're agreeing that you've read and will follow any announcements/stickies setting out additional rules/guidelines specific to the forum in question (though I realise that you don't seem to have been breaking the rules yourself).

    but as the allowed time has passed could it be 'unblocked' or something? or a new mark scheme posted

    You (or any other member) are welcome to post a new thread for the exam (in Biology Exams) if there isn't one already, but I don't think that we can restore the thread, sorry.
