AQA Biology Paper 1 - official predictions and how it went

Hey guys use this to predict what may come up and say how you felt it went. Good luck to you all

I believe there will be a focus on health and ethics so im thinking drug trials and stem cell problems for a 6 marker

im thinking a question on monoclonal antibodies might come up or food tests not suree
I hope monoclonal antibodies comes up; I've got that section down so good!
What I don't want to see is food tests... I always get the solutions mixed up.

I think they'll probably ask "Expain the three different plant defence systems", or explain how medical trials are carried out.
Very likely a question about different treatments regarding the heart would also come up...

Antigens injected into a mouse they create antibodies and fuse tumour cells with antibodies to create hyrbidoma cell that can rapidly divide and scientists can collect the monoclonal antibodies

I did triple and it wasn't too hard but I have to say I had to rush on the last few answers about the lipids at the end.
I had 40 minutes to spare?? Slightly concerned about that... Managed to reduce that to 25 mins spare after checking through and correcting/amending things, but still worrying. Overall I feel like I did okay, a couple of questions I bs'd but, there's always some! Let's hope grade boundaries are not ridiculous.
did you discuss all of the food tests for the 6 marker on protein and different types of carbohydrates?????
i only did the protein and starch test (iodine)???
