omdsss paper 2 tomorrow I’m scareddd
btw what grade are you aiming for
I got an 8 in my gcse so I thought why not try and get 9. It will also be good revision as I'm doing biology in a levels . Paper 2 was way harder than paper 1. Like the compost heap question had me lost. All I knew was the at microorganisms break down dead organisms and transfer nutrients back to soil. It was 6 marks so yh. How did yours go?

I agree paper 2 was way harder :/

Samee I also just waffled on about how carbon dioxide is released by the microorganisms which is used by the plants for photosynthesis.

However I wasn’t expecting loads of maths questions tbh.

I’m sure you’ve smashed it :smile:

omggg that 6 marker was horrible I completely left it out so was that punnet square question which was 6 marks but the rest of the paper was fine it was wayyyy better than paper 1 for me bc I didn’t revise much for paper 1

this paper was more about application of knowledge unlike paper 1.
