2019 Unofficial Markscheme List - GCSE and A-Level

Felt really positive the paper had a banging start and a wobbly finish to it, it was manageable. I feel like the grade boundaries will be 69-71% for 9 (based on last years which was 132/200 on both and 66-100 on one paper to get a grade 9). The ending questions were very much trying to recall as much as possible from personal knowledge. Maths questions were very simple, 400x, 91, 10, 3.3. <---(mostly 1 markers)

Some questions included: -Why is a electron microscope better than light?
I wrote down: -increased magnification, - increased resolution

(something along the lines of) -Evaluate ways in which the body protects itself from pathogens? Include -Ways it prevents it from entering, -Ways it is dealt with inside the body. (6 marker)

-Define what is meant by a double circulatory system?
- How do you test for sugars in the blood (or urine, I can't exactly recall) {I put Benedict's solution}
-What is the purpose of ... when testing for new drugs. -placebo's -double blind test
