I don't think they have ever asked that, I doubt they will as there isn't much you could say about it to form a good essay.


Thank goodness! If there is a question on drawing it, how many marks is it likely to be?

Also, around how many marks will it be to get a C?

Below 50 for a C usually, think last year it was 47.

Drawing it might be a 6 mark question.

If you know anything about nutrition this question seems pointless.

Fatty foods don't make people gain fat. Eating more calories than your body needs to maintain your current weight makes you gain fat. I guess you could say a large amount of their revenue is from their "healther" foods such as their sandwitch meal deals.
Don't think I've ever been so nervous for an exam :frown:

How are you guys revising? I haven't still started revising because i also have my C4 exams tomorrow. I am thinking to just read the mark schemes instead of actually doing the past papers and then reading my notes.

Ye was a pretty standard paper, the first 30 marks were really easy I thought. 20 marker was alright, I think i did the 30 marker well but i was a little uncertain on it. But like you said, was a pretty good paper.
