Higher Human Biology 2014-2015

Yeah I know but sometimes the teacher gets to see the exam paper and the pupils get to go over it with the teacher. This happened last year for maths so maybe it will this year hopefully

Yeah hopefully... The teachers at my school don't do that :frown:

I honestly thought this would be my subject that would give me a shot at an A but i've never been so disappointed with a paper before. (Old Higher)

Same!!!! I did the new higher, and I found it very very very difficult. I never had a B or below in biology before... I'm not sure about that anymore... :frown:

Yeah it was rods and then you were to speak about converging neuro pathways

Did your teacher find it a hard paper?

My teacher thought it was very problem solving based and said that the rods question shouldn't have been asked

Since SPF 15 took an extra 15 minutes for the skin to get burnt, I guessed that SPF 35 took an extra 35 minutes... But that might have been too simple?

Then you had to add on the extra 10 minutes which the question said it takes for skin to get burnt without any protection.

So, 45 minutes???

WTF was the eye question 😳 I had never seen anything like that before!

I did the new higher and I thought it was hard. They missed out big topics such as translation and transcription and most of the questions were on areas of the course that I thought wouldn't be in the exam.

The question said "When SPF 15 is applied to the skin, it will take 15 times longer to burn compared to having no sun screen applied"

Because of this i wrote that it would take 350 minutes to burn? Idk if i'm right but i have the paper infront of me and thats the only answer i'm getting

That sounds like a more reasonable answer. I wasn't too sure on that question

I thought the same, I wouldn't mind getting a look over the paper...God knows...hope I've done enough to get a B...I ran out of time after loosing time on outlandish questions..basically bullet pointed the section Cs as quick as I could...never got to look it over, never good!

Thank god! I'm so nervous about this now. Hopefully they drop the grades down a bit

Surely they have to drop the grades... I looked on twitter and everyone has found it very difficult.

Can't believe the lack of knowledge questions though, or the ones they put in were just obscure

Seems like they just threw all the reject questions from other years into our exam, ive never seen one like it
