Higher Biology Exam?!

Yeah our teacher was horrible...only 4 ppl got B in our Prelims...everyone else fail! (I failed by 1 mark D: )

But for our second prelim i got B so i hope I get a B in final exam

I wanna study science in University so I'm hoping for the best :/

In general only my maths,english and History teachers were good..my Chemistry teacher was ok but she was kinda confusing and our Biology teacher was so bad. He used to lecture us for 20 mins at the start about how we would fail, and then waste even more time going over last nights homework since he did not want to mark it!

its a wonder we finished the course.

That exam just sucked bad. not been able to get it out my head for the last few days!

needed an A for uni and biology felt in the bag, loads of hard work for months and it was tested in about 3 questions in the entire section B, gah!

also for question 5 of the multi choice, what did we all put? i struggled between A and D, i knew glucose to pyruvic acid made 2 atp but wasn't sure if D was reffering to the entire krebs cycle + cytochrome system movements, in the end when i seen water i assumed it ment the entire cycle untill water which would include the cytochrome system and opted for D.

My biology prelim suited me a lot more than the final exam If only it was the opposite way about

Woo me too I want to study science, although all the people on here who want to study science either want to do medicine or veterinary medicine or something

I think I had quite good teachers this year meh, although the chemistry teachers in my school don't do any supported study because they don't get paid enough...

Our entire Biology department sucks...only 1 teacher can actually teach..the rest are just so...ughh..tehy dont get along well with us and they dont teach much xD


but in my defense the Biology prelim we did was extremely harsh...it marks of for stupid things..and asked for in-depth knowledge on Questions that were easily classed as KQ imo...

I just hope we all do well mate

Hey epic...I'm glad I found someone else with the same interest as me
I was gonna do Law, but seeing how many applicants apply to it and I find it ever so dull (we had a reach scotland lecture on it and I dozed through it lmao) . I love Science, the fact I get paid to discover and research new things..in a way im doing what I always dreamed off..which is expanding my knowledge (i know it sounds nerdy but i dont care)

We only have one biology teacher who can teach as well. Well we only have two teachers in our biology department

Yeah some prelims are extremely hard to make it more likely to get an appeal, my teacher just uses old past paper questions so hopefully if I don't do as well as I hope I will get an appeal

I know woo!!! God I don't think I could cope with law, I think it would bore me too. Although I do think it would be interesting to be on jury duty, hoping I get picked for it. I taking it you want to go into research? If so, I do too I think

It is ridiculous how subjects like English and History have really high appeal rates but things like science don't. Teachers usually tell students what the questions are in essay based subjects before hand! My history teacher certainly did.

Tell me about it..I think Research sounds great for me..although im sure they wont go down well with my parents :P

and if you dont mind me asking what school do you go to? o:

and Well the chances of getting an appeal would be low, I heard they are only done under the context the person is not present in the exam hall at the time.

Only ever heard of 1 appeal being successful :s

It sounds great for me too! But why wouldn't it go down well with your parents?

Eh Barrhead high lol it's a dump you??

Yeah init Science appeals are so rare it is so hard. Considering, according to SQA statistics, the 4 sciences are the hardest subjects!!

Asian Parents want me to do something like Lawyer or Doctor..Problem is Law bores me and I dont think I can be trusted with lives of people..oh and Blood freaks me out

I'm at Hillhead High School atm...

its ok got some nice teachers but also some strange ones that dont teach at all

and yeah I hate that about the SQA..sometimes I wonder if they really know the conditions we're in before setting the exam

What kind of asian are you????????????? I wish I was like Chinese or Filipino but naw I'm white and Scottish :/ Blood freaks you out haha :]

And oh never heard of it. "Atm.." do you plan on moving or something?

Aye same with all schools though. Tell me about it, I fainted in one of my prelims (I was ill) imagine if it was one of my exams, they probably still wouldn't of gave me an appeal haha

I agree with this wholeheartedly, Sciences are the worst place to get appeals from and consider how difficult they are I think it needs to be change, although I heard the new course coming is completely dumbing it down ..although I disagree about the Questions thing as our Teacher did not give us any predictions

All she said was Hitler might not turn up since the SQA have been threatening to make it not show one year..it turned up...we were all delighted..but you know the point

LOLOLOL my parents are Asian and they want me to do Law XD. I don't mind, I really want to study Law at uni. So is it a doctor for you then?

I know but our history teacher told the class our prelim questions XD. He dropped major hints about which topics to study. I bet most schools do this.

However you don't get this for science prelims!

I dont think I can take listening to people constantly complain about ailments..im a very unsympathetic person at times

I don't like anyone controlling my life, Science fascinated me so I'm planning on following a career in that

For the bird question, did anyone get 0.375 for the calculation? And what did everyone put for the reasons the birds put on weight? I didn't know whether it was more food or if they were pregnant
