Thanks

so why do people think it's going to come up if it's only been 4 years since it was asked? Wouldn't another topic come up that's never been asked before?

So does tRNA take up the complementary base pairs on the mRNA and translate them into amino acids? How is this done? Thanks.

My prediction is the essay is either about DNA or ions.
Ions would be a dream come true

I'd be really suspicious about a DNA essay because I feel like I'd end up just writing about one tiny part of the course

How have people been doing on past papers? The highest I've got (not including essay marks) on a past paper is 46, but I've only done 2 need to get them all done tomorrow.

50 (without essay) but it was 70 for an A on the paper :frown:

Hey guys, about the stolen paper, in the psychology exam today some areas got the reserve papers but others got the original so that will probably happen with biology unit 5 too since it was stolen as well.

that was written on thursday for something that happened 2 weeks ago now... they would have been predominantly GCSE papers and not this years unit 5 biology .. they don't send papers out any more than 3 days in advance!
so any predictions can still come up

Biology is effected, someone sent me a list. I mean my psychology exam today was one of the ones stolen, you can tell because the code has an R after it.
This is the list of whats effected:

Each row must add up to 100% of bases, so you just add up 38, 20 and 24 and subtract that from 100, then do the same for the other row :smile:

Could you sort of bullet point what you'd talk about with ions? Thanks :smile:

I know, it doesn't seem fair but my college had the reserved exam but then other colleges were saying on tsr that they had a different exam with a different exam reference number too, :frown:
