Wasnt keen, felt like a lot was guessing rather than straight-forward knowledge based questions. :frown: What did people get for chi square?

Okay same :smile: it stumped me as i was thinking it cant possibly be that high haha and was it reject the hypothesis underneath?
paper wasn't amazing but so so so much better than F214.
What the hell was that 4 marker on how energy is transferred from producers to herbivores. I talked about GPP and NPP but some of my friends talked about burning plants and measuring the energy by heating up water and stuff like that. I had no clue how to measure anything.
That paper was a nightmare I totally flopped the exam :/

I know!! I ended up talking about the biomass pyramid things with the dry mass but really didn't have a clue

Yeah because it was autosomal linkage?

How were questions 6 and 7 even tied into the a2 spec? 😒
Lots of it was basically just receptors and cell signalling 👍

Lol at that paper. Tbh I liked f214 more...
Wasn't horrendous but also not amazing. A lot of weird questions. At times it felt like there was more f214 than there was is last weeks paper but ho hum, it's done now

That's the thing with F215 the questions are so bloody vague that you have no idea what they're actually trying to ask.

Exactly half of the f215 content didn't came up. They are getting worse every year

How much was the last question worth? I got up to the stroke question then ran out of time. How many marks am I likely to have lost?

And for the producers to the herbivores, I was confused so I said it's calculated by taking away energy loss by theoretical yield dividing that by theoretical yield and x 100 because energy is lost by heat, egestion, movement etc. I don't even know... Think I flopped this paper badly tbh :frown:
