Edexcel IGCSE Human Biology January 2014 exams

Hey guys!

Idk if anyone else has made a thread so I thought I might as well make one

Paper 1 was yesterday and paper 2 is on Friday :smile: how did everyone find the exam yesterday? Tbh I don't think it was that bad however the question on the strand of hair in a Petri dish threw me completely! I can't remember reading anything about that in the book xD

The paper 1 was pretty easy but paper 2 was hard there was literally stuff that wasn't even in the text book but it was fine but I think the 2013 paper was about the same in difficulty, did you do the exam too ?

You do know the June and January papers are different and no they gave us this diagram of a new sewage method and asked us different things like what could the products be used for and were anaerobic conditions required

Yh , you have to ask the center where you did the exam and you pay 20 pounds but if you ask for your paper back you can't get it remarked
