GCSE Biology Unit 2 Speciation/Shrimp Question

Well, it would seem like you missed a double page spread (it was right at the end).
I don't know the marks for the other stuff, but there was a 6 mark question.

Quite a few people missed it.
Hopefully, it will bring the overall grade boundaries down.

What happens in this situation normally? Do they just ignore the marks from the question or take them into account for the people who did answer?

It's surprising how many people missed the last questions this year...
In theory, that means the grade boundaries could be lower, so fingers crossed! :wink:

Well, the majority of people would have done it, so they won't just ignore it as a question, will they? It's still worth marks and counts :P

But does it still get counted if I got it right?

That's good news for me but overall, I am not confident.

Look at it this way:
Every mark in the paper counts, it's not AQA's fault that people didn't check for/missed the last pages, is it?
People that missed it will lose marks, yes, but they are the minority, so there is no reason why AQA should forget about it's existence in the paper.

It's unfortunate, yes, but it's not their fault...
Therefore, marks would still be awarded as usual :smile:

Only chemistry and physics to go now.
Chemistry will probably be the easiest for me, but I haven't even looked at physics for the last month at least.
