For the horse one I said that the surface area of their foot had increased to enable them to get away from predators and move quickly

Well, we're all hoping the grade boundaries will be lowered but for now all we can do is hope AQA will be more reasonable. Have you seen the unofficial mark scheme? I think I got 25-27. Which is probably a C :frown:

I had such high hopes of getting a B, maybe an A in this exam. And all we got tested on was how drunk rats are, the colours of snail shells and how many 15-year olds drink alcohol? :angry:

I've never been so stressed in my life, I know I did so bad.

Don't worry about it man, I am really annoyed to but you need to focus on chemistry and physics now and try and do amazing on them to get a high average, good luck

I messed up the independent company ********... what were the answers to what it is and why it was important that only a independent company tested on the rats?

Was the horse question about mutation or variation?

Posted from TSR Mobile

it was about variation, you had to talk about darwins theory of natural selection

What did people get for the question about all boys drinking and why was the hypothesis not valid??

I wrote that boys drink beer, cider, but the girls drank more wine and spirits.

To be honest, I didn't find it that difficult. My first official exam since I'm in year 10 but still, it went pretty good, thankfully : )

that's super high considering how difficult today's exam was because even last year's grade boundaries were 47 for A* which is reasonable considering the exams was okay I really don't think they would do 50 for A*
