AQA GCSE Biology Paper 2 (Higher Tier Combined) 8464/2H - 9th June 2023 [Exam Chat]

For the 4 marker on the swimmer having hyperthermia, did people get 35?

farmers shouldnt give farm animals antibiotics because it creates new strains and the antibiotic resistant bacteria is likely to be passed on to humans when they consume the animals.
doctors should only prescribe antibiotics to patients who have severe infections, this will help to reduce the chances of the bactieria evolving.
patients should complete the whole course of antibiotics as it will kill all bacteria, so it cant evolve.

I put that cows produce methane which contributes to global warming. The food for the cows needs to be transported which will pollute the air and also that deforestation to create space for cattle farming. It was ok for me as it was basically just the geography exam I did last week!

I got 3:10 somehow???

If I said all of that except the transportation I should get 6 marks because I explained it well hopefully

It definitely was mate we'll see who gets the last laugh when you get a low grade 'lol'

I talked about how it can reduce biodiversity since you need land so it leads to more deforestation and stuff

same

Imagine being so confident yet so wrong.. you forgot to take it away from everyone, it was 450-135 LOL

I got 36.95, how did u get 35😭

what did everyone get for the pundit square
50%

yes!

I don't understand how people found that paper good:
No nervous system questions
Only one 4 marker on the sampling techniques
Two 6 markers on stuff that wasn't the reflex arc, but bacteria and implications of cow farming (I mentioned cattle ranching and stuff to do with deforestation and excretion from the carbon cycle)
Nothing on blood glucose concentration but instead adrenaline and thyroxine
Quite difficult maths questions (didn't know how to calculate the rate but miraculously got the 4 mark hypothermia question right, but using a different method than most people.)

Q1 and Q5 were okay though, Q3 was meh. I'm hoping I still get my 7-7 to do A level bio because I didn't like that paper. Paper 1 was better for me.

i went blank the whole exam but managed to answer all questions the 6 markers were soo bad as well i didnt know what to write

yes!

For the 4 marker on the swimmer having hyperthermia, did people get 35?

what did people get for that 5 marker adrenaline temperature question??
