OCR Biology F212 January paper

Just downloaded and printed the paper and honestly WTF. The hardest paper I've ever seen in my life. Could probably answer about 6 marks out of 100. even the parts that could be easy, the questioning makes it unclear exactly what they want.

Anyone else seen/done it?

If this is the most recent (Jan 2011) one then yeah, i did it - got 92% in it since the grade boundaries were around 64 for an A lol
Indeed mate done this mother ****ing piece of satan in Jan.

I got 137/150 - which i was amazed at, it is by far the toughest biology paper i had seen for that component, honestly thought i'd epically failed (again) ahah.

The key to do well is honestly - not only knowing the content well, but in the exam, make sure you literally right ANYTHING you know about that question, even if you aint got a clue (the majority of that paper for me)

Most importantly - good luck!

WOW. 92% well done. I got 90 UMS in the F211 so was kinda relaxed about Biology until I saw this paper from the depths of Hell.

Retake papers are generally made harder for F212, the one in June which I had a B in was much more easier, it was simple re-call I believe.
