i remember that question. It was horrible, but i think it was a How Science Works question?

Anyway i hated Biology papers, i did unit 2 and 3 and i don't think i got a very good grade in either.

Which other A-levels are you doing?
Biology is currently my worst subject - I was able to give up Geography which I was even worse at!

I revised on SamLearning for about 16 hours on just biology and to be honest found the exam really easy.
I would expect 30 marks definatly on it.

Its like 40% for a C etc isnt it in biology. But they do get combined.

In the dogs question as to why they were used.

I just put because they have a similar internal system to humans, so any findings made in the dog could be related to humans.

I thought the paper was just a bit weird as it only seemed to cover 2 out of the 6 biology topics I've been taught.
I mean there was like nothing about cells and cell structure on it or about osmosis and homeostasis.
I quite liked the DNA question.
To me a lot of the questions seemed to be more common sense than actual science in that paper.
Also try not to worry too much.
Its over now and if you didn't do aswell as you would have liked just retake next year.

Agreed

even though i didnt actually take the exact test you did i still do AQA and all the science papers , physics, biology and chemistry some question are just 'how science works' but easy. pure science for the win
