maybe the boundaries will be 25 for an A even though I said 50 earlier #talklikebrogdingwhateverthefockhisnameisson #legit

Yeah I heard the boundaries were going to be as low as 10/70 for an A :tongue:

The exams are linear, UMS was scrapped and they're not chatting "smack"
For the first question, I put B- because it had "immediately after" in bold, so i thought, hm, maybe this means inspiration, after all, chronologically, one does expire then immediately inspire???? ugh i f'd up man. stupid question. argh.

That wasn't unclear, they said IMMEDIATELY AFTER, you don't inhale IMMEDIATELY AFTER, so IMMEDIATELY AFTER its when they're empty

I know, it's ridiculous- and the fact that these will be predicted grades going to our potential universities is annoying af, like the uni won't understand or take into account OCRs sh*tty ability to word questions properly, they'll just see the grade and judge :angry:

let me guess. the last page ? :frown:


yeah reading through the content of the questions and calculating different percentage changes just took an age
What did you guys mention for the 2 6 markers?
For the enzymes I just said about the change in rate of reaction as temperature changes.
For the second one I mentioned that mixed blood has lower concentration gradients and stuff like that,

I know what you mean. I litrally flipped onto the last page, hared theinvidulator say 3 mins and I decided it was more sensible to go through the paper for mistakes than rush the percentage question and get it wrong :banghead:

Did the same mate for both Q's but I added that the ventricle was thicker in the mammal heart than the amphibian. in the second 6 marker

You're not alone.. I did put A in the beginning but somehow after I saw them writing it in bold, I immediately changed my answer.. I shouldn't have done that. Why did they even write it in bold? 2 marks gone..

It is unclear considering how many more people thought the same.
