I agree with squiih. Also I would bet on a reflex action question as this is very common

I think that's a bit simple?
Receptor - stimuli - sensory neurone- cns- relay - motor - effector which is a muscle of gland.

Gland is slow and secrets ... something I think chemicals.

And muscles contract.

I think it will be easy. Because we are the last year who are going to do it A*-C.
And next year the whole spec is going to change.

I'm predicted with A's but I think I'll get a B.
Every year they increase the grade boundaries last year it was 50 for An A*. And 2013 was about 37.
