Well, if you scroll back the past 7 pages to the start I'm sure you'll read what the thread was for. I think you'll find that it wasn't for answers to the exam, purely for discussing the possible topic that may be involved.

Well the exams been now... So what else are we supposed to discuss?

So what exactly do we do now we've done the exam?

This is for talking about answers, if you don't want to look at potential answers, don't look at this thread.

To be fair, you can't single one person out for discussing answers when everyone else is

Come on lads we've all had a drink

what do people think the grade boundaries will be for this paper? I'm pretty sure I've seen them as low as 69% in previous past papers, which is around 55/80!

Hopefully will be around the same. 55/80 for an A would be perfect. Reckon I'll get about a low B.

Not too bad, although as always with WJEC you come away feeling a little bit cheated. They ask questions that your teacher only went over briefly and you just know the mark scheme's going to be really specific.
How about you?

Agreed, a lot of my answers were hugely ambiguous. I feel like it could be an E or if the boundaries are low a B. I thought the respiration thing was in the bag but now that I think about it I reckon I ****ed it up. I put the one about "glycerol going in as trios phosphate" in glycolysis, only to remember as soon as I walked out the door it goes in the Krebs cycle.

Also, how dare they represent the "w" tag labeling the Krebs cycle as ATP, a few people in my school said it was ATP but I thought it was Co2? If it was ATP then that's very mean, they did not even specify if it was one cycle or two? Bull****.

Ahh i thought glycolysis too :L that was a mean question, and 4 marks for it! I think the w came out both times right after the carbons reduced in number, if it was ATP what other evidence was there for it? (I thought co2)

Glycerol doesn't go in kerbs.... I thought it went in at triose phosphate too... But it specified '3 carbon compound' so I put pyruvate as there was no arrow pointing to triose

Also W was co2... Every time a substance loses a carbon it loses a co2 molecule!
