AQA BIOL5 Biology Unit 5 Exam - 22nd June 2011

That's as bit strong isn't it? If you care so much why are you even bothering posting on here? The really sad thing is you apparently getting so worked up about it...

Bio-Fight ^^

How am I getting worked about it?
I'm just saying my opinion jheez......Someone has to say it.....Also, how the heck is this harsh? It's not like I typed in caps locks or swore....God sake.....Wake up and look at the world around you and then come back and tell me I was harsh.

1) That was ages ago when my exams weren't over.
2) That's not discussing the paper, but it's called helping someone out.
3) It shows you're such a low life that you had to research into my posts.
4) Get a life.

@ 3) - I sat the same exam, so any updates on that thread I will have read. Trust me, I'm not so pathetic that I'll look through your past posts.

And yeah, you're probably right, I will do something more constructive than sit at my computer screen on this lovely afternoon, griping at someone many miles away whom I've never met before...

Just saying, this is from someone who posted on the chemistry discussion thread as little as 72 hours ago about what the markscheme would and would not accept as an answer.

chem5 MS is it out??

For the cycles essay question I can't understand why people are so happy with mentioning 8-10 cycles that were barely covered in any detail over the course. The essay title wasn't just 'cycles in biology' it was 'how the products in one cycle are used in the next cycle'. I can't see too many people paying attention to this though, when they keep mentioning predator-prey, muscles (is that really a 'cycle'), cardicac etc.

Does anyone know when the mark scheme for this exam, and in fact for all A Level exams, will be published?

I agree!!
glad someone thinks this too

Yep I agree too, a few people from my college simple read the question as 'cycles across biology'. Admittedly I put predator-prey relationship of an antelope and hyena() then wrote that the dead carcas leftover by hyenas is digested by saprophytes. Went on to talk about the carbon cycle then. Then mentioned that the co2 relesed by saprophytes was untimately from the the carbon that had been assimilated by the plants by photo.syn; which had then been eaten by the antelopes. In the last 5 minutes I just panicked and started talking about the cell-cylcle and PCR. Probably lose two marks for relevance though
