do not trust anyone on here all their b1 predictions were wrong

as soon as i saw the paper you could kinda see through it and i saw the multiple choice question and read 'NICOTINE' and almost DIED because that meant the 6 marker wont be on drugs and now im a master of drugs

aqa thinks 15 yr olds are pissheads yh

There is no dominant gene, it's dominant allele. I'm afraid you might lose mark for talking about dominant

****, is it negative marking? I did mention allele not gene in the actual paper tho

the june 2012 boundaries are GOALS

i've lost 6 marks for definite already :afraid:

I wouldn't be that scared tbh, considering the highest the grade boundaries have been out of the past 3 years was 47 for an A*. That means you can afford to lose 13 marks and still get an A* assuming that the grade boundaries don't go any higher.

All I know is that if we get the same style of exams like this for our Chem and Phy, where they don't even mention any main topics and give stupidly worded questions. We are f**ked

Could an answer for the temperature sensor vs thermometer be that 'the temperature is recorded automatically with a temperature sensor and data logger rather than thermometer'?

I'm relatively sure it mentioned boys and girls in the question?

It did, it said to compare the types of alcoholic drink, for the boys and girls. But I thought the boldness of the word type emphasised that you spoke about the boys and girls together when comparing the different drinks?

For the sense organ one would eyes be okay?

It said in the question that any sense organ in the head is connected to the brain so I don't think eyes are right. The question asked for a sense organ connected to the spinal cord which is skin

Was the very final question about Lichen or Invertebrates? I'm pretty sure lichen is a plant, not an animal? And what is another way to measure water pollution then!
