F215 - Revision thread 13th June 2011

Omg what did you write for that sheep question....like why where they like that omg see i forgot the questin because thats how **** it wasss....

I think you had to give a FOR and AGAINST argument since it said "Comment" About the method killing Hedgehogs

I could deal with a paper where me failing to get the marks is due to me failing to recall something from the syllabus, but when the questions are based on **** pulled from wikipedia because the examiner who wrote the paper got **** faced the night before he had to submit his un-started, first, last and final draft of the paper, and 45 marks of the paper are based on 4 sentences from the book which don't even help you much if you remember then I think I am justified in getting pissed.

Yeah! Post it online. Let's do everything we can to get back at OCR. If that means putting the exam the day we sat it online, then so be it. I want them to get angry for f*cking us over

for the first question i chatted so much shxt!

i wrote the peptide bonds are hydrolysed into amino acids bla bla

i also wrote about deamination in the liver haha did anyone else?!

I wrote about transamination in liver but i was clutching at straws.

Even better, I used my a2 biology book as a fuel for barbecue in the garden!

I gave two against and one for.

- We shouldn't value a wader's life over a hedgehog's life, as all life is sacred.

- We introduced the hedgehog that diminshed the wader population, so it is our responsibility to remove the hedgehog from the environment to restore the wader population.

- Something to do with killing the animal is unjust and unnecessary or some crap.

Someone supply me the number of the person who writes this exam. I need to have a word!

I always said I wouldn't get a Student Room account but alas.. here I am, a horrible F325 paper later and I need one,
That was a poor exam - for people like me who have spent the last few months revising in detail every part of the syllabus that was a poor representative, the whole of module 2 was basically missed out, where was all the tricky stuff like sequencing? Like insulin and plasmids, reverse transcriptase, succession, immobilised enzymes?
I'm interested to know what everyone put for the question where it showed a length of codons attached to specific amino acids, - I'm convinced this is tRNA as tRNA are the only molecules that attach to amino acids, they then bring them to the mRNA and form hydrogen bonds with the mRNA - mRNA never directly attaches to amino acids. I'm so depressed.

Wait, the book says it's spelt Nitrosomonass... So that's what I put. When I search it on the internet, the spelling seems to be Nitrosomonas. If I lose a mark then... What a joke... OCR is an absolute ****ing joke with a bunch of clowns working with only one goal in mind: making teenagers cry annually.

I was unsure regarding that question.

I think I said that the two processes were ...

A mutation that led to the enzyme that could metabolise the seaweed being synthesised.
Natural selection with a selection pressure favouring the sheep that could digest the seaweed, leading the trait/gene to be passed onto offspring.

i put substitution too

omg please say that it said they eat the wanderers eggs because otherwise i got that 6 mark questions completely wrong really f'ed up this paper

That was the first exam ive actually completely run out of time with like 6-10 marks still remaining (ecology stuff). Did anyone notice the timing was crap too? or was it just me?
