definitely the hardest out of 2010, 2011 and 2012
i got 69 in the paper, which was an A, but only because it was a decent essay at the end (the cycle one i think)

Oh god

I got 46/75 in the specimen paper as I didn't do the essay (just now), but in the 2010 one i got 72/100 with the essay, huge difference.
Really hope it's a NICE paper tomorrow :/

Because 2 A* marks on the essay are for making points "outside the specification" people tend to go overboard learning wayyy more than they need.

I dunno about anyone else but I'm not bothered about those two marks I'm focusing on smashing the main exam part and then just writing ****loads for the essay :P

I really hope ATP essay comes up tomorrow... or enzymes... or something thats just broad like that.

If things like carbs, or water, or whatever come up i'll probably cry.

That's exactly how i feel aswell lol, preferably something i can apply quite a bit of biol4 and 5 knowledge with. Biol 1 and 2 are meehh

Inorganic means it does not contain carbon...so the majority of ions we have learnt :smile:

they're ions that are vital for cellular activity and don't contain carbon such as Ca2+,Mg, Na+ and K+,etc

Im so happy that atleast,unlike edexcel, we can talk about the exam as soon as it is done! Hopefully we've all got something good to talk about! I'm sure this can not get worse than the edexcel C3 paper :|

Can someone just do a few notes on what to write if water importance essay comes up? There are plans in here but is mostly in note form, little bit extra would help please xx

Photolysis of water - Photosynthesis
Biproduct of respiration
Plants (Turgidity, Apoplastic/symplastic pathways)
Fish gaseous exchange
Organisms live in water (an incredibly obvious point but one that not only is correct but technically is outside the specification)
