AQA Biology GCSE 2015 additional science higher paper unit 2&3

Hi everyone,
I am just wondering if anyone is taking their biology exam tomorrow and if so at what time?

It would be great if someone kindly gives me some tips, information, potential questions or even answers to some questions ASAP as I really need to get an A*.
Thanks

B2 reaction: :eek:

And I thoroughly revised for b2 and 3.... I reality, B2 was HARD. B3 was good only if you had revised though

Compared to all the other past papers I've taken, I found this year's exam to be the hardest. Hopefully the grade boundaries are low!

I didnt like the variable questions at the start. At first I misread the question. I think I corrected myself. Then I wasn't a fan of Q2, nothing to do with quadrats at all - which is what I'd revised for when looking at that sort of question. So that had me stumped.

I managed to complete all the questions in the end. I think I did well but it was a hard paper.

Nooo.. I thought it was about quadrats, but it was really about transect lines.

I wrote about transect lines with quadrats at regular intervals, but then I crossed out the quadrat part and put a note at the bottom asking the person who marks my paper to mark what I crossed out if it's right (It was still readable, I only put one line through it :P)
