what did u get for the percentage one? i got 62%

very tough 4 time

The breathing one was a godsend

It was way too wordy and long for a two hour exam

aqa seem to love putting the six markers at the end of the papers because they know we’ll rush them so next time I think I’ll be flipping to the back of the paper first.

I finished the paper but like the questions weren’t hard just the sheer volume.

Hated it!!! Was impossible to finish in time.
And also why was there a full page of lines for a 3 MARKER!! Made me feel like I need to write more 😩

I managed to finish but with VERY vague answers for some parts (just to try get an anwer for every question) - did not like the bee question, the barley question, and the question with the added thing in to do with rate of reaction AT ALL!!! Eeeek

This paper has ruined my entire life and Im not exaggerating at all!!! I thought this paper would be fine (AS content tends to be easier) and I would finish with 30-40 minutes spare time...
BUT NOOOOOOO!!
I had no time left at the end and so couldn't answer those 'come back to you later questions'. And by the time I got to the extended response questions I was worn out after all the evaluate the data 4 marker questions so I couldn't even answer the content questions properly.
The only mark I am sure I got was the draw a general structure of an amino acid question.
Hair and beauty here I come !😊

Probably the hardest paper I've done in my life. Why don't they just call it graphs & statistics instead of Biology?

How am I supposed to revise for the next 2 papers? I knew almost all of the content so well for this paper and it didn't help at all.
