Why was there so much figure/graph/data stuff like application kind of things?? it was really annoying bc i felt i wasn’t showing off my biological knowledge that well.. anyone feel the same?

I think we can say that after the relative niceness of the first paper, we no longer have to worry about the grade boundaries being really high haha, every cloud has a silver lining

Who at AQA decided it was ok to give us 5 graphs and an essay of information about each one? Barely had any time… and also who tf chose the last 6 marker about fossils, genetics and how they improved understanding of evolution 😭😭
