Yea I agree, can you remember what you put down for the describe the growth pattern question where they gave you the graph?

For paper 2 I'm just going to go over the things that wasn't in yesterdays paper and the experiments.
yeah that question! would you say it's the hardest paper you've done so far? :/

I wouldn't say the hardest paper but it was quite difficult, hopefully paper 2 will be easier.

I just put down things about oestrogen and testosterone. And for the ear question, I knew what the ear ossicles were called, but I didn't revise the shape of them so I just put down random shapes and labelled them in the right order so hopefully I get some marks.
kinda nervous about tomorrow :/ what topics do you think is gonna come up?

The ossicles are named after their shape, funnily enough! They're in the shape of a hammer, anvil and stirrup. Their actual name is just the Latin of those 3 words. :tongue:

Hi- I sat paper 1 yest too. How did you find it? I'm struggling to know what to revise for tomorrow as well. I must admit I wasn't expecting so many 3 and 4 mark questions- ran out of time! And such an emphasis on the environment top which is not my strong point. Dreading results day!

Yeah I didn't like that, urm paper 1 was awful, i didn't like the topics I thought there would be more about gas exchange and the circulatory system and omg the brain!, well my tutor basically said revise everything again on the specification still and remember to revise practical questions
