    i took this exam today too i did the modules b1,c1,p1 and b2,c2,p2 and got an A*. Science is my best subject and i want an A* in this exam BUT i thought this exam was so ridiculous. NONE of the questions were like those on the past papers. The chemistry exam was made up of mostly equations and calculations with no chemistry based questions. The biology questions didnt vary in topic and overall the paper was extremely difficult. I hope the grade boundaries will be low, they deserve to be

    couldnt have said it better, they literally asked us questions that rarely appeared on previous past papers. I mean i was waiting for the obvious ones such as eutrophication, farming, controll rods etc.

    1: people did ask for something i posted (please read whole post or your understanding of it may be moronic)
    2:sorry if I insulted you in anyway it wasn't the intenson, but calling people to shut up doesnt help anybody.

    I don't remember, although I do remember not adding 5 and 3 volts because the potential difference was 8, so I did 8 volts divided by something and got 6.4 ohms something. You?

    i remember getting 4 but can't quite remember how i got there. I wasn't sure whether to put 4 or 6.4 ohms so just made a guess in the end!

    Did anyone get 2001 for the beetle outbreak because it was the next time that the temperature was above what they can survive at? (-6)

    i got that too, i dont know if i am right, never am confident after exams, but i made that logical answer too, becaue it was the soonest next outbreak, i think it has to be 2001 because that was the soonest temperature above -6 degrees celcius and they would die at a lower temperature.

    Couldn't have put it better myself! What's your expected grade? Mine's an A*
