Did you get a or b for the first questions on exhalation?

A; volume of thorax was less, diaphragm was curved

I got that as well


I got that too and worked it backwards to see if it worked and i think it did...
What do you write for the 2nd six marker? It was a **** paper tbh, a lot of speculative questions
Original post by mm_7
it was hard to understand what they were asking


same I did an f212 past paper this morning and a lot of questions werenm't related to the spec (excluding smoking etc).. like the 'suggest ones' so I was unsure if I should give a bog standard answer or throw some biology in somehow?

deoxygenated blood lower gradient for diffusion etc
Swear it was the same question as 2015 B7 OCR 21C if you did that?!

same i had to like read the question 2-3 times to understand what they were testing

you do know smoking and health were on the old spec...
Guys does saying "single circuit cycle" and "double circuit cycle" does thst make sense or will i not get the marks fml

Most of my revision wasted lol

Breadth was more like the F212 and F211 papers (and the papers before that as well) but depth was quite different NGL

it's stupid how only like 20% of all that content is tested... or not even that.
I had no idea what to say for the comparison between mammalian and frog circulatory systems, I just said something about the frog's being less efficient due to mixed blood & a lower diffusion gradient. It was a six marker as well, I could cry.
