Let's RIOT Against AQA

IT WAS 90% application questions, 10% knowledge.

I MEAN WHAT IS THE BLOODY POINT OF IT IF THEY ARE MEANT TO TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

I spent ages revising stuff such as WBC, Fertility drugs, adult cell cloning etc and it didnt even TOUCH upon it? We may as well have not even learnt any of it. This is a disgrace and isn't representable.

YOU HAVE A LOT TO EXPLAIN AQA

Totally agree, i had all the factual information memorised... there were at least 3/4 suggest questions and own opinion questions! Even the four markers were stupid!

Yeah exactly! I thought I was the only one that thought this. Just goes to show how the rest of the science exams are going to be like.

It's a disgrace, WHY cant they just stick to the syllabus for one, and TWO, WHY DO THEY NEED TO SHOVE TONS OF APPLICATION QUESTIONS IN WHEN THEY CAN JUST SPREAD IT OUT THROUGH THE SCIENCES.

there was barely anything on that test that proved your biology knowledge, pathetic

*cough* What is meant by an independent company? *cough*

The only sign of "company" in the AQA spec is the legal writing about AQA.

Completely agree, loads of graph questions and weird, unusual questions. Very frustrating.

Why was the AQA paper so hard what questions did they have on it.The edexcel paper was fairly easy apart for 2/3 questions which were worth 3 marks

I usually have 15mins to spare on my past papers, but in this one, I JUST managed to finish on timeeee

Also, barely any topics came up this year. Only 2 or 3, which didn't really require revision...

It was mainly adaptation of knowledge to situations. Over half of the paper was reading and adaptation of knowledge - even then there were some things you would find difficult to understand. I even found that because there was so much reading of context, I struggled to finish the last two questions and I had to rush through them to finish in time.

AQA exam was AWFUL. Asking question not on spec and loads of applications and it isn't a MATHS EXAM FFS

That's bio for you, you must apply stuff i bio....

Original post by IAmAnTroll

because knowledge isn't enough in the real world you must apply it, you won't be asked to recall knowledge when you have a job which requires bio knowledge, you'll be asked to apply it.

also you really are a troll aren't you?
